When you are in love, every waking moment during your day is consumed with thoughts of her.
You are wondering about what she is doing, where she is, who she is with, whether she is thinking of you, etc.
You think about her so much it almost feels as though she has taken over your whole consciousness with a fierce and unrelenting grip.
Since you have never felt anything like this, you know that this is totally unusual from what you are used to.
