It's not very often in one's life that you come across something of such magnificent intrinsic value that it evokes emotion from deep within. It's not an emotion that you can make yourself feel, or even emulate. You can't empathize with someone who is feeling it...you can't use known verbiage to convey it...you almost can't even imagine imagery to explain it.
It's something that hits you deep down in the core of your being, without ever touching you. Something that sends a tinge of pain throughout your body, that has never felt better. It makes you want to be everything you could ever possibly be, and yet willing to give it all up in an instant. It shifts the most selfish desires to be the most compassionate concerns; to give up your own plan for your life, in order to write a new one with them in it. Is it love? Or is it something more?
No doubt you've seen the person walking down the street - they catch your eye, your head turns, and you admire their physical qualities...their "hotness." That's superficial and fleeting. It's only on the surface, and only for a moment. Those are the "Hot Girls" (or guys...for me it's girls, so I'll use that.) They're trophy material, and not good for much else usually. It takes something more...
There's also the girl-next-door type. The kind that are kinda cute and nice to look at, but they've also got something under the hood. They're the kind that you would take home to mom to show her what a respectable boy she raised, that you would not mind being seen with, but also enjoy talking to. Those are the "Attractive Enough" people who contain all the attraction you need to stick with them...and there's nothing wrong with that.
But...once in your life, maybe twice...you find something more. Something you wouldn't find if you were not looking for it. Someone that makes you step back and reevaluate everything that you thought you were looking for in a person, just to make sure you really found it - and when you do it evokes a feeling in you. A feeling never before associated with anyone, or anything, else.
You can look into her eyes, and she doesn't have to say anything - you can see her dreams, fears, and hopes.
You can see her smile, and feel the emotion hidden beneath it - even if it lies to cover it up.
You can hold her hand, and know that she will be there as long as you are.
It's when you find that one particular characteristic that connects the two of you on a level you could not otherwise obtain.
That is her beauty. Once in your life, a woman's beauty will possess your mind so, that you'd be willing to do anything for her. You'd be willing to die for her.
That's what love is to me.
