When

When your first thought in the morning, and your last thought at night is them
You might be…
When you close your eyes and the first face you see is theirs
You might be…
When their name pops up in your inbox or caller ID and you smile
You might be…
When you can’t help but blush when their name passes your lips
You might be…
When a single conversation with them has the power to soothe you
You might be…
When the anticipation of being in their presence gives you butterflies
You might be…

When you find yourself concerned with their well-being
You could be…
When you make future plans and include them in it
You could be…
When you refer to them with a certain uncertainty
You could be…
When you miss them all the time and so much it hurts
You could be…
When you call them up just to hear their voice
You could be…

When you’re starting to become in tune with their mood & emotions
It’s almost certain…
When their pain is your pain & their joy is your joy
It’s almost certain…

When you aspire to help them become better
It’s almost certain…
When you have your first argument and you’re hurt more because you hurt them
It’s almost certain…

When you can’t imagine your life without them
Check your pulse…
When your happiness is intertwined with theirs
Check your pulse…
When you realize they make you better
Check your pulse…
When you know the color of their eyes & the changes it makes as the sun reflects on them
Check your pulse…

When you can love them past their pain
Call a doctor…
When your will surrenders to theirs
Call a doctor…
When their needs rank equally with yours
Call a doctor…
When you’re willing to sacrifice loving them so they can be happy
Call a doctor…

When all the symptoms are present the prognosis is clear
You’re in love
And there’s no going back.
