When
was the last time you were in
love? Really in love?
Do you remember
feeling silly? Giggling
and grinning whenever you saw
the object of your affection?
Did you feel like
skipping, running, jumping in
the street? Maybe
spinning around and rustling
your hair? Did
everybody look better, act
nicer, seem beautiful because
you were in love. What
about playing? Didn't
you want to stay home and play
with your love mate rather than
go to work or school?
And didn't you want
to go to bed early?
Do you remember getting
dressed up and wanting to look
nice because you felt so good?
Did you feel as if
you could do anything because
you had somebody at your side?
What about feeling
nurtured, supported, protected?
How about being
needed, wanted, valued?
And didn't it bring a
smile to your face just to think
that somebody loved you?
Did it make you
feel young again? Well
then, why do you think children
don't know when they're in love?
