Without hesitation, I replied, “Yes. Yes, I do.” I think I shocked both my girlfriends out of their seats.
“Really? But, how can it be love if you don't know the person? Isn't it lust?”
Of course, not. The soul knows. It knows instantly when it meets the person that it was meant to spend forever with. Too bad we think too much. We stop and think and listen to the thoughts that drown the heart.
I know this sounds strange coming from me because most of you think that I don't believe in love at all. What I don't believe in is bullshit. That, I can do without. Love is a whole different ball game.
Yes, there is such a thing as seeing someone for the first time and “falling” in love just by one look, a smile, a simple hello. It happens when you least expect it. It happens at a moment when the universe stands still, the planets align, and the earth and the stars collide. It happens without warning and when it does, you know it because your heart will tell you so. Your heart will skip a beat, your throat will go dry, and your face will become flushed. You'll try to say something witty, but you won't. You'll try to look just right, but it won't matter. All you will do is wish the moment will be frozen in time, and it will.
It will be that moment etched in your heart that will bring warmth on cold lonely nights. It will be that smile from so long ago that you will never forget. It will be that first awkward hello that will make you giggle in a crowded dinner table years later. It will be that first kiss that you shared that will warm your tired soul, and it will be your beautiful secret.
Yes, I believe in love at first sight, I also have a vivid imagination.

Awesome as usual Lucy!!....I dig it!
ReplyDeleteLucy, I believe in strong attractions at first sight! They develop into love so technically it can be called "Love at first sight". It is a wonderful feeling when you meet that one person that we react to so strongly; asthetically, chemically, and emotionally. I say chemichally because of the roles pheromones play in human attraction. The emotions come not too long after that. When all these forces combine they are the most powerful stuff on Earth! how great!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering? Does love at first sight have an expiration date? I mean... it seems that when we were "younger" it was so much "easier" to "fall" in love. Are we jaded with age?
ReplyDeleteI never believed in "Love AT First Sight", until the day I met this particular person, whom from our first meeting I knew my life would never be the same... and to this day this person its my firs thought when I wake up and my last thought before I go to sleep...
ReplyDelete@anonymous and is he the one you go to bed with and the one you wake up with? He should, if it is true love.
