That’s what it feels like when you touch me. Like millions of tiny universes being born and then dying in the space between your finger and my skin. Sometimes I forget.

About This Quote

Sometimes I forget. This quote from the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” captures the feeling of being in love. The feeling is so strong that it takes your breath away and can be described as an entire universe being born and dying in the space between your finger and my skin. If you have never been in love before, it is easy to dismiss this feeling.

It is something that will happen to you one day, when you have a soul mate. However, the feeling of being in love does not have to wait until you find someone special. It can happen in a casual relationship, even a friendship.

If a person has a connection with someone else, if they feel alive when they are with that person, then they are most likely already in love.
