Strange..Indeed ..a miracle!!



Looking into that person’s eyes and just feeling the 'connection'.....

When you realize that the presence of one person is more important than the absence of everyone else.

It’s not about perfection,
rather something far from it.

Looking at someone and knowing that you belong with them.

The rest of the world disappears,
and all that remains is that person and that feeling.

You don’t know what the future holds,

Things might not be easy,

Willing to risk it all just as long as we can be together.

Be with you through everything;
as long as you have me......

you'll not have to face things alone.

I’m here when you need me,
Always be here for you.

Don’t know what’s gonna happen,
but whatever it is....
Stand beside you always!

And you should know that
no matter what anyone says or does,
I know that, I’m right...
where I’m supposed to be,
right next to you.

And that you should know
I’m here because I want to be,
not because I have to be,
and that..
there’s no where else in the world that I’d rather be.

And that... readers,
is what I think love is.....!!

If you ask ten people you will get twenty different answers and definitions.

Webster’s defines it as
“a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another,”

but as a writer and a person who finds the idea magical,

I take it a bit farther.

I’m just saying that things are much deeper than that.

It is also not something that you can define for every single person.
something that is universally understood;

Perhaps,
a language that needs no translation.

Love is just something you know,
no matter how old you are or where you are from.

Two people speaking in two very different languages with two very different lives can fall in love.

It just happens,
and we don’t really have a choice as to who you fall for or
when it will happen.

It means something different to each person.

Here we are,
all of us,
basically alone,
separate creatures,
just circling each other,
all searching for that slightest hint of a real connection.

Some look in the wrong places,
some they just give up hope because in their mind they’re thinking,
“Oh there’s nobody out there for me,”
but all of us,
we keep trying over and over again.

Why?
Because every once in a while…
two people meet and there’s that spark, and yes,

she’s beautiful and he’s handsome and maybe
that’s all they see at first,

but love…..
that’s when two people become one.

It is scientifically impossible for two hearts to occupy the same space.

Yeah, but what’s important is we try.
And when we do it right,
we get close.

Indeed ..miraculous.....
