Letting you rip my heart out was my favourite mistake;;
I think you know you're in love when it hurts. Now, that's not to say that if you love someone they should be hurting you. But I think that, if you love someone, you'll physically feel it - it literally is a "tear in your heart"; when you fall in love because your walls are let down and everything inside of you in vulnerable. I think you know you're in love when you can physically feel the happiness that comes from the other person, rip through your body. Their happiness overwhelms you to the point there you can only feel their warmth radiate inside of you. I think you know you're in love, not only when you're constantly thinking of the little things about them, not only when you catch yourself smiling about them, not only when they're the single thing on your mind, but you know you're in love when it actually breaks your heart.
Because it's not easy to fall in love, and if it was easy and pain free, then maybe it wasn't love. You can't love someone without feeling like they're ripping your heart in half just so they can fit the half of their heart with yours. And I think that is love. It's not beautiful, or "goals", or easy. It's hard, it's heartbreaking, it's painful. But it's worth it.
