Quite simply, it's when one's happiness is your happiness.

But there's so much more. It's when a person is perfect in your eyes, even the imperfections, they make them work.

You smile because they smile and then they smile because you're smiling and you just feel yourselves connecting and it's amazing.

It's when you're with them and you just need to be closer. So you get closer and no matter how close you are, it's just not close enough because your soul is craving theirs. Your soul is just aching to interlock with theirs because they're the other half to your whole.

It's the feeling of regret because you didn't meet them on the day of your birth. You hate that you've missed entire years of their life. But it's a feeling of excitement because you just can't wait for the future. A future with them.

And when they leave... you just feel empty. Something's just missing, a piece of you is missing.

I feel like the positives aren't worth it when the negatives come. And I guess this is what Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is truly about.

If you find a piece of you that you didn't even know existed, and then you lose it… damn. I'd want to erase my memories of ever finding that piece too. Because honestly, nothing else is going to fill the gap except for them.

It's awful. I hate it.
