When you cut your favorite collectors item magazines so you could use it in creating personalized birthday cards.
When you ditch an episode of your favorite drama/anime, or drop the entire season, just so you could spend your time with him instead.
When you keep and collect movie tickets, tissues, and other such trash at the end of a date... and plan to make a scrapbook out of it.
When you plot to (and do) hide notes and whatnots to surprise and show affection that you just can't possibly form into words.
When you fight sleep, or run stores for internet load in the middle of the night, just so you could do a favor he's asked.
When you make up a thousand of reasons to do work for him by chance, because you know he might be tired and is probably needing rest.
When you turn a blind eye over faults and shortcomings, and try to understand (and accept) that it's probably just one of those mood swings again... or your individual differences kicking in.
When you disregard your own feelings and circumstances just to be with that one person—not minding if it isn't that convenient, or if it's getting really late and you have classes very early in the morning the next day—because you want to be with that person... because he's a priority... and because his happiness is more important than your own.
Love is all this and more... though sometimes, it just ain't good enough. But in the end it probably doesn't matter, for love is...
When you still think of him and his well-being, and pray for him... even after he breaks your heart.

Because yes, love is a lot like watching a 20-minute firework display. Exciting. Emotional. Romantic. Sweet. Memorable. And even though it also ends as dramatically as it began—fading slowly into thin air, leaving a starless night—love is when it still feels like summer in your heart... in spite of all the heartaches, in spite of all the pain... for even though sometimes it had been hard and heartbreaking, at some point in time, it still has been one of the most wonderful things to ever happen in your life.

うたかた花火
The Transient Fireworks
The festival at the end of August was lively and overflowing with people
I put on a yukata and geta
Making clanking and clicking sounds
When the two of us looked up at the suddenly risen fireworks
I secretly stole a glance of your face watching them in a trance
Although it would be better if I'd come to hate you
On a day like today
I'd remember you again for sure
Not knowing these kinds of feelings would have been great
Although we will now never meet again
I want to, I want to see you
I still think of that summer day when you were with me
If we grew a little tired, we'd sit down on the roadside
Listening to the distant sound of the orchestra
The whistling sounds and strings reverberating
A brocade cap bloomed bigger and bigger in the night sky
Summer will end in a little while
It suddenly becomes painful
I launched my reversed heart
Laughing "ahaha" and
Saying "I love you"
We kissed
I'll forget all about you now
This is just too sad
Why must we have met?
If I close my eyes
It'll be like you're there even now
Sweet sighs
Tinged with a slight fever, I was in love with you
In that voice and in those eyes
If I notice, time is passing by
But I'll still search for a trace of you
I looked up at the fireworks all by myself
Making my heart prickle with pain
Very soon, the next season
Will arrive
I had watched the transient fireworks with you
I still think of that summer day when you were with me
