Have you ever met someone and things just seemed to be meant to be? I know it sounds silly, and in most cases I would agree. I mean the whole concept of Love at first sight is an irrational mind set. You question, "How can one love someone they just met?" What do we base this "love" upon? But...yes there is always a but, there are those times where phenomenas do occur and who gives a rats behind about having a reason to explain? It happens in movies. Its within the context of great fairytales. In the melodies of love songs and acted out in numerous plays. Is it so far fetched for one to hold on to this concept of love at first sight? After all, love it self is sort of an irrational emotion in its own regards. But, we are not questioning love here.. it is its presence when we first meet a person which is on trial.
There comes those moments in life where the planets are aligned just right, the moon and stars are in perfect cosmic harmony, and time yields to your interaction with that one special person. You indulge in great conversation, you finish the sentences of one another, you may even murmur the same phrase at the exact same time. Your eyes meet and you can see a reflection of the sparkle in your eyes or is that just a reciprocation of interest and intrigue? The world, oh the world is at a stand still.. words have taken on deeper meaning and you witness their birth as they spill off her lips. There you sat lingering to her every letter, syllable, and sentence. Conversation is natural, the chemistry is something to marvel at, and yes, dare I say it, to an innocent bystander, love is definitely in the air.
Is this dilation of the pupil or thumping of the heart or sense of comfort the defining factors in this love at first sight theory? Some may call it infatuation, some may say its just the wonders of that "newness" but I say that in a parallel universe, written in the book of happy endings, that this is love. Maybe not in the same regards as we know it and perhaps not even at its full potential. But that is what we see in these moments, the potential. Isn't that all love is?? The potential to fall madly, insanely, irrationally for someone that you would give everything to experience it?
Sitting across from this beautiful woman, our life flashed before my eyes. I could see our children playing, our wedding day, kissing her in the rain, absorbing her very essence. And as she called my name and I awoke from this trance.. I knew that I didn't care about anyones opinion, because if this isn't love at first sight. Then at least I know that we are on the cuspid of true love.
