Falling in love again

"We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, or an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value, because we are often left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives."

I’m only 23 and I have been through so much. People have come into my life, some for only one season, others for longer that left footprints on my heart that will last forever. But the truth is; all my young life I have searched, searched for Mr. Right. One person that would come into my life unexpectedly and make me complete. One person I could share my life with, the ups and downs, the joy and sorrow. And all this time I was hoping that he would be out there somewhere, searching for me too.

I've learned that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. I know life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. This is friendship and love; delicious ambiguity.

But above all this, I know myself. And now that I have laid my eyes on you, talked to you, spent time with you, I know… I know that I like you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. And finally I realize that I have only one escape from my old self, my past heartache and pain - to see my different self in the mirror of your eyes.
