"My heart pounds so hard that, despite the roaring of the crowd, I am aware of blood whoosing through my ears. I am filled to overflowing bursting love"
"I stare at her for a long moment. I want to kiss her. I want to kiss her more than I've ever wanted anything in my life"
"and one detail I can neither fathom nor shake, the one that haunts me into sleep: the feel of her fingertips tracing the outline of my face."
True love can be described as a lot of things to a lot of different people. But to me true love is this. These quotes are from Water for Elephants. For people who haven't read it, the main character falls in love with a girl who is with someone else, but doesn't give up because he knows he has found something special. He doesn't push, he lets her figure it out on her own. That is my definition of true love. Loving or caring about someone so much that you are willing to wait and watch them be with someone else because you know you have found something special and so you aren't going to let go, but you don't push. You let them figure out what they want on their own time. It's the most romantic gesture I think there is. It shows he knows what he wants, and that's you. And he's willing to wait. That's my definition of true love.
