Just When Real Love Finds You

"We really loved each other, didn't we?" -Allie Hamilton, The Notebook

If you ever bumped into a lover from your distant past, what words would come across your mind - a small string of words that is able not only to reminisce what was but also to usher back in the lost spark?

Just when real love finds you, the very moment you least expect something precious and wonderful and amazing to come your way, you are confronted by circumstances that render you vulnerable. Just when you think love conquers all, and equate it to yourself being able to conquer all because you have that love for a person you feel strongly for, you realize you can do nothing. Because you can never even conquer distance, for one.

But let me reminisce a moment from my past. I never knew a brief meeting could last love a lifetime until it came my way. But the meetings were nothing magical; nothing poetic - just a surge of feelings lovingly strange to anyone who loves. I was loving every moment we were together, and would wish at most times that a day would never end. We were more than fond of each other's presence.

I like to think that love is able to find its way back no matter how big the world is. And in this world that rushes to change, I like to believe that the love I once knew is still there - holding on and waiting for me.
