People say that when you find that person, the right person that you'll just know. Is that really true? Will you just know? What physiological or psychological indications make it apparent that you have fallen in love with this one person and that you cannot live without them? Is it the sweaty palms, rapid beating heart or the fact that realizing how much this person means to you brings tears to your ever deep ocean eyes? Love, like anything else grows when nourished but the amazing process is often hidden away. One can be building a castle of love but not be aware of it. Placing brick by brick, painting each wall red like the pure blood running through one's veins for their loved one, slowly constructing this massive passionate love that is going unnoticed.

People say that love conquers all evil; it diminishes all hate, so how can such a great thing be seen by the naked eye? Love itself is not blind; it is the lovers that are blind to see the love that is present in front of them. Love is unbounded, undefined, never ending yet given away so easily. It is not the roses, the hugs and kisses that make it so special. No...it is the memories, the times, the smiles, the tears, it is understanding and patient. It is self-less, its deep; Its growing old together, and its raising the young together.

People say that they are masters of their mind; that they are sentient to their feelings and what they truly want. LIES! It is all lies that we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel superior to our bodies and minds. There is a whole another level in the mind that is not conscious to your apparent present. It is the sub-conscious, the unconscious that truly knows you. Lies, like beauty, is only skin deep or in this sense, only conscious deep. One cannot lie to their unconscious. So, if our conscious does not know what you want then how will it tell us who to love? “Serendipity: Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.” - Lawrence Block.

We are never truly aware of what we want in life, but somewhere underneath it all, we are. You just have to search for it then you'll know if the person you love is the right one.
