• The thought of love never crossing my path had flashed through my mind a few times.
    Leaving me thunderstruck; deserting me with pain and regret.
    I know that love doesn’t come along very often, but it’s what I think about every night.
    I don’t dream about knights on white horses coming to rescue me from the dark depths of my prison castle.
    But it is then, in my sleep, that love becomes clear to me.
    Love is not predestined or subsequent.
    Nor fate, nor destiny.
    Love is simply you.
    Just the way you are.
    I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed it before.
    Having you near me, sends chills down my spine.
    When I talk to you, you make me laugh and I feel an overwhelming sense of joy.
    Perhaps, I hadn’t noticed it, because I wasn’t aware of my desperate search for it.
    The endless hunt was not for love, though I had thought it was.
    I hadn’t known that I was franticly searching…
    …For you.
