"She's just infatuated with the boy... She'll get over it in a week."
How many times have you heard those words? Almost everyone has at one point or another. You take a sudden liking to someone, and no one will wholly support you. They say it's an infatuation. It won't last... You'll get over it shortly.
Maybe our idea of "infatuation" has been wrong all along. Sometimes you can't exactly explain why you like someone... You just do. And it doesn't necessarily have to do with their looks... There's just something about their Everything... Them... That completely captivates you. As you notice them more and more, you start to pay attention to those little details; something, anything about the person that could explain to you why you like them. Then slowly, you begin to notice that every little detail about them is perfect, to you. You love everything about them, even the new things you find out about. You begin to have an unconscious understanding of everything they do; everything they are. You think about them a lot, and your mind somehow always goes back to them. They become a part of you.
And sometimes, they can begin to care back. They so love the fact that someone loves them through all their imperfections and still cares so much and believes that they are perfect. That person becomes perfect too, in their eyes.
Love is not always reciprocated. But that doesn't mean it wasn't truly love. You still cared about someone. You cared so much that you didn't stop even after you knew they wouldn't care back. For as long as you live, you will always carry a bit of the people you loved with you because of the impact they had on your life, even if that impact was just one look. One moment. One meeting.
If you would do anything for someone, would always be there for them, and would put their needs above your own, that's enough to make it love.
If you don't know what first attracted you to someone, but their well-being suddenly becomes more important than their looks, then it is not a crush. It is an infatuation of the person. It is love.
