Love is.

I met this fellow the other day in a coffee shop and we sparked the most interesting conversation. I think sometimes it's easier to talk with a complete stranger than a life long friend. There's an added element of honesty when talking with a stranger, if you let there be. We ended up trading life stories; he, much older than I, was masculine, intelligent, and beautiful. While he was speaking I found myself fantasizing about what my life would be like by his side. I love it when a person captivates me in this manner. In that moment, I lived my entire life in this mans eyes. I fell in love, traveled the world, and died happily fulfilled. We closed the shop down and in the end, never even exchanged names.

Falling in love should feel like magic.


With the words of Paulo Coelho, I will leave you with this, "we are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity."
