What Love Should Feel Like 愛的感覺

Danielle+Campoamor

愛的感覺應該就像在懶洋洋的星期六早上，枕著三只枕頭，蓋著四條毛毯。時間已經停滯，整個世界都欣然停下腳步，唯一重要的是你還能繼續呼吸，享受這一秒又一秒的懶散時光。

愛的感覺應該就像一座專屬一人的港灣。他的懷抱、他的胸膛就是一座避難所，只有你可以容身。你對他的每一個毛孔都頂禮膜拜，為他的幸福祈禱，一種無處不在的幸福感將你包圍，那是任何有組織的宗教都無法給你的幸福。

愛的感覺應該就像一場中學生的舞會。你渾身上下都煥發著青春的活力，笑容里洋溢著抑制不住的興奮，汗津津的掌心里緊握著青春的欲望。日記本里，你把分分秒秒都寫得那么浪漫，你珍藏著每一張褪色的照片，并且對自己說，每時每刻的每個感覺你都會永生銘記。

愛的感覺應該就像夏日里的一段旅程，開著車，將車窗搖下，打開收音機，讓頭發輕撫著你的面頰。你了解他，就像熟知你跟著收音機哼唱的歌詞，你確信，眺望道路的盡頭，你將會看到自己的自由。一種莫大的滿足感在你骨子里熊熊燃燒，蔓延到胸中。于是，你毫無緣由地笑了起來。

愛的感覺應該就像一杯香醇的威士忌。一種叛逆的感覺將你引誘，一種灼燒的滋味使你感到快樂。你開始忘記已成過去的那些人，每光顧一次酒吧，就多一分遺忘。

愛的感覺應該就像一件太陽裙，緊貼著胸部，在微風的吹拂下自由飄擺。你已迫不及待，盼著季節快快到來，氣溫快快上升，好展示你每一寸被陽光親吻過的肌膚。

愛的感覺應該就像開始一場隨機的比賽。你被選中時，心中洋溢著無限自豪，高昂著頭走向領隊，你已急不可耐，盼望著比賽開始。你已為這一天準備多時。

愛的感覺應該就像一段短暫的失憶。你已記不清沒有他的日子是怎么過來的，記不清你們是何時相愛，記不清有多少個吻才讓你失去了控制。每天早晨醒來，你都會奇怪你怎么會到這里來，你們到底是怎樣闖入彼此的生活。

愛的感覺應該就像一場馬拉松。它振奮你的心靈，耗盡你的意志，挑戰你的決心。你對自己說你已無法堅持，但你依舊邁動雙腳，一步步走下去，路上喝下一杯又一杯水，以助自己恢復體力。最后，你將意識到有多少杯水促成了你的幸福和成功。

愛的感覺應該就像一個晴朗的夜晚。仰望璀璨的星空和無盡的黑暗，一陣微風吹來，讓你想起冥冥中還有許多未知的事物。你將意識到，每一個答案實際上都只是猜測，每一個事實都曾經是虛幻，而對于愛，和其他所有人一樣，你只是剛剛開始了解。

Love should feel like the top of three pillows and the bottom of four blankets on a lazy Saturday morning. Its where time stops and the world gladly sits on hold and the only thing that matters is that you continue to breathe in moment after crawling moment.

Love should feel like a nook1） made just for one， where under their arms and over their chest comprises a sanctuary only you can fit in. Its where you worship their pores2） and pray for their happiness and are blessed with an overwhelming presence of bliss3） no organized religion can give you.

Love should feel like a middle school dance， where nerves poke through your skin and excitement radiates your smile and sweaty palms grasp the youthfulness of desire. Youll romanticize moments in notebooks and cherish fading pictures and promise that every feeling of every second will never be forgotten.

Love should feel like a car ride on a summer day， with windows rolled down and a radio up and hair slithering4） across your face. You know them like the words of the song you sing along to and you swear， if you look just beyond the road， you can see your freedom. An overwhelming contentment burns deep in your spine and rises to your chest and youre left smiling for no reason at all.

Love should feel like a smooth5） shot of whiskey. Youre seduced by rebellion and pleasured by the burn and you begin to forget those who comprise your past with every additional trip to the bar.

Love should feel a sundress， held close to the chest while free to flow whichever way the wind takes it. You cant wait for the season to strike and the temperature to rise so you can flaunt6） every inch of sun-kissed skin.

Love should feel like the beginning of a pick-up game7）. You beam with pride when youre chosen and hold your head up high when you walk towards your captain and you cannot wait to get the game started. Youve been practicing long enough.

Love should feel like a blackout8）. You cant remember a time without them or when you two started falling or how many kisses contributed to your loss of control. Every morning you wake up wondering how you got here and what you did that lead the two of you to crash into each other.

Love should feel like a marathon. It should exhilarate9） your heart and exhaust your mind and challenge your resolve. Youll tell yourself you cant keep going as you continue to put one foot in front of the other， taking every helpful and rejuvenating10） cup of water along the way. At the end， youll realize how many contributed to your happiness and success.

Love should feel like a clear night. A slight breeze reminds you of the unknown as you look up at sparkling stars and unending darkness. Youll realize every answer is really a guess and every fact was once fiction and that you are just beginning to learn about love， along with everyone else.
