How come being in love feels like time has frozen - standing still?

I think it’s because when you are with someone you are in love with, you convince yourself that time does not exist. Or that you never want time to run out. So you imagine that time is frozen so you never have to be parted from that person, or you never have to let the hours of the day effect your time together or the changing of things. I think the film Big Fish made a perfect visual explanation when he said that when you see someone for the first time and you know that they are the person you want to be with forever, so love at first sight, time stops. I think it’s just because it’s almost too good to be true that things in life that you cannot control, feel as if they are in your control in that small but significant moment.
