It happened, I know what the books are talking about when girl and boy lock eyes and suddenly all outside chatter is muted, time stops, and for a moment that feels eternal you bathe in eachothers eyes.
All the armor you've put up falls away and you're naked, standing in the moonlight
I don't even remember who he was with or the steps I was taking.
I didn't consciously hold his gaze as he twisted away, it was magnetic and strong, so strong.
I think you know you're in love when the room stops spinning and it's just the two of you. When your eyes lock and no matter how many fights or shitty things they've done it doesn't matter; everything can be forgiven and dissolved with a blink of an eye. You know you're in love with someone when you'd hurt yourself 1000 times over without thought in order to be with him and feel the electricity on last time.
Once you know the realness it becomes apparent how painfully fake the world is.
