When I was twelve, my sixth-grade English class went on a field trip to see Franco Zeffirelli’s film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. From that moment forward I dreamed that someday I’d meet my own Juliet. I’d marry her and I would love her with the same passion and intensity as Romeo. The factthat their marriage lasted fewer than three days before they both were deaddidn’t seem to affect my fantasy. Even if they had lived, I don’t think theirrelationship could have survived. Let’s face it, being that emotionally aflame, sexually charged, and transcendentally eloquent every single second can really start to grate on a person’s nerves. However, if I could find someone to love just a fraction of the way that Montague loved his Capulet, then marrying her would be worth it. . Annabelle Gurwitch
About This Quote

When you're in love, you're not concerned about the things everyone else is. You don't worry about how well your partner manages their money, or about whether they look good enough for someone else. You spend every waking second thinking about them and how to be a better person for them. You listen to their problems and offer advice.

You don't ask them if they love you, you say it for them. When your partner loves you back, you know that they're really happy because they can spend their whole life with that single person. In other words, when you're in love you feel as though everything is perfect and that thing that makes you feel as though everything is perfect is true happiness.
