"Are we in high school?"
"No, we're in love."
...
Stolen from Boo, it's a great simile to the way you act when love finds you at the most unexpected moment, in the most unexpected way, and in the most unexpected person. It finds you and it hurtles you back to feelings you thought you grew out of; old sensations thought lost resurface feeling brand new again.
You blush deeply when your paths cross, you're immeasurably giddy when together, you smile at thoughts of love incessantly, you warm when you have the chance--any chance--to hold hands. You giggle as you quietly nuzzle in rooms that don't belong to you. You tell little white lies that you don't have to about where you are or who you're with simply because you don't want to share. You tingle every time you kiss; your heart races every time they tell you they love you back. You find yourself holding your breath for no other reason but because you feel if you don't, everything inside just might burst.
I'm so in love with love, that even if I didn't have my own, I'm just as thrilled when others find it.
