I only understood that it was love when I felt my heart calm and happy

I lived some romances, but I only understood that it was love, when I felt smiles in my days and saw that my soul sighed for peace.

We live our relationships, and each person who passes in our lives has its importance, its meaning and its intensity. Even if it’s not a lasting relationshipthere is always something that marks us.

It takes us a long time to learn who really deserves everything from us and who deserves our essence.

I had few relationships, but they were all long-lasting. Some wanted to be forever, others just moments and some that meant nothing, it just happened. Having someone doesn’t mean being good or perfect, but it takes feelings, friendship and loyalty. There are also people who cannot surrender because their experiences were bad and limited them to love.

Love happens without any imposition, without any loud expectations and without any warning.

This feeling approaches, slowly enchants us and, suddenly, we are already in love with someone. I lived some romances, but I only understood that it was love, when I felt smiles in my days and saw that my soul sighed for peace.

I felt it was love when it was simple and without demands; simple as the breath of summer nights and soft spring mornings. I felt it was love when there was no tension, pressure, and pretense, when it didn’t demand anything from me, but wanted to see me happy.

When I felt in him my best friendmy perfect lover, my lap, my confessor, I understood that it was love and that I didn’t have the need to burn like passion.

When I felt in him simplicity, tenderness and gratitude, I realized that my heart didn’t need to beat fast, that my hands didn’t need to tremble and sweat, that my legs didn’t need to lose strength and that just a hug was enough for me to be sure that we were both soulmates.

We get lost in distractions that sometimes we don’t realize the meaning of the people in our lives. We are too lazy, that we don’t know how to differentiate a liking from a more intense liking, we confuse passion with love and we don’t differentiate the taste of a good kiss from an unforgettable kiss.

And when it’s love, it’s so simple and discreet, that it can only be felt, when we silence to listen to the sounds of feelings that a hug has.

It was love every time I felt a meekness taking over my life, when that silly jealousy was exchanged for words of affection and understanding, when the fights gave way to frank conversations, when our indifferences joined hands so that we could be two people in one true feeling.

And it’s still love, because it got better over time, putting aside whims to be more sober, embracing the hard days to not allow resentment or sadness.

Love is not always full of joy and peace, but it can overcome difficulties when it is a true feeling. Love does not suffer sudden changes in weather, storms of bad temper or afflictions that disturb, because it is calm, even if there are clouds.

I understood that it was love when all my feelings pulsed, silent and happy!
