We’ve all had those moments when without warning we meet the gaze of a random stranger and time seems to stop. Without so much as a word they empty their soul into us as we pour ourselves into them, knowing their hopes, dreams, ambitions, their highs and lows, their pain becomes our pain as does their joys and triumphs.
Abruptly, within the twinkling of an eye, time once again intrudes snappishly, ending the communion of our souls, all is lost apart from a strange sense of yearning, a longing for unity that can never be experienced again, we both leave the scene forever changed, two strangers who shared a connection for the briefest splinter of time that was somehow or other an eternity for the soul. That’s what love is, that’s where love comes from, that’s all there is to say on the subject.
