There was a time once where I questioned if love was a myth that we taught ourselves to believe so things could be easier--so that there could be some kind of hope in a world of darkness. I wondered if there was anything that could truly stop time and everything that flows in it. Could there be something so wonderful to rise the soul above all that was around? Was there anything that could just take hold of you and totally bypass your mind and bring you somewhere so amazing that you would lose words and their meanings because what you were experiencing was so grand and far beyond words... But your heart understood everything even when your mind couldn't...
I am a woman that has been engaged, dated various men, and for years sought after understanding love. It was only early last summer when I acknowledged that I knew nothing of it and understood it not, that I was able to find it and start to understand it. And I was never one to believe that love at first sight could exist...But that is real too.

Imagine being there for the creation of the worlds...that was love.
Sounding a bit disenchanted K. I had one of those "love at first sight" experiences. That's the worst thing for a guy. I couldn't run from it or hide from it. It just kept nagging me. All I saw was my bachelorhood disappearing at age 26. And the girl...well, after 23 years of marriage she still can't appreciate that story. She can't imagine what I went through.
P.S. Yeah hi, its been a while...
Yeah, that was love, but a totally different sort.
Disenchanted? I don't how to label things at the time present. All I know is that I'm waiting and most often have a peace that I've never had about anything before. And as for bachelorhood, I can empathize in that I've never thought anyone could really get my heart. It's like some door was totally bypased and the walls were totally hurdled and he was in. Not just partially, but totally in and without needing permission. There's a certain loss of control that's madening yet beautiful at the same time. I'm also kind of a wild spirit and never really thought I'd find someone who could understand without having to settle.
As for your story, it's encouraging to hear. Hopefully it was love at first sight for her too and she's just too shy to admit it.
