Is love the journey from seeing them as strangers to finding a homely feeling in them?

Is love the thought from "Hey, I think we've met before" to "When will we meet again?"
Is love always taking the longest route to your home only to walk past their house to catch a glimpse of them?
Is love pretending not to notice when you spot them on the streets walking past?
You as you turn around and a small smile finds its way to your lips till they disappear in the crowd?
Is love scribbling silly things in their copy to annoy them even if your artbook has marvellous paintings painted by you?
Is love a post from their instagram dated 2 years ago opened on your phone while you're giggling sheepishly laying beside it?
Is love searching the moon on their and your birthdays and checking if it completes each other to make a full moon?
Is love walking together under the moonlight, cracking jokes and pouring your hearts out?
Is love listening to songs together with only a pair of airpods?
Is love occasionally giving lovely gifts to each other?
Is love all about unconditionally loving each other?
No, love is finding yourself a best friend before finding a lover in them and all these will eventually become a part of a beautiful love story.
