When Sparks Fly

Written today for the NaBloPoMo prompt: “What does it feel like to fall in love?”

 
     What does it feel like to fall hopelessly and madly in love?    How does it happen and when?  When the time is right and all the planets align fate takes its course.  It is destiny.  Two people meet.  Immediately, there is a physically mutual attraction which is pure chemistry.  You look into each other’s eyes and sparks fly.  Your pulse speeds up.  You finish each other’s sentences.  You understand each other on a deeply spiritual level.  You feel happy whenever you are together and as if something is missing when you are not together.  You laugh at each other’s silly jokes and seem to connect on every single level.


      Your heart pines for that person when you are apart and rejoices when you see them or hear their voice again.  You always have something to say to each other and you realize as time passes that you never want to be without that person because without them you are nothing.  That person completes you like no other ever has.  You are at peace.  You are over the moon.  Nothing else is as important as being with that person.   It is as if all the light goes out of the world when they are not at your side and the sun, moon, stars and all lights in the world illuminate when you are together.  Even better, not only does that dear soul care deeply what happens to you they want nothing more than to have you be the last thing they see before they shut their eyes at night and the first thing that they see when they wake up in the morning.  You feel safe when you are together.


    Before long you wonder how you ever lived without that person in your life and you realize that without them, nothing else matters.    Before you even know what has hit, you fall in love and life is never quite the same again.  You feel euphoric, as if you have won a million dollars, like dancing, kicking up your heels, and laughing yourself silly.  It is when sparks fly, love ignites, anything is possible, and nothing will ever be quite the same again.  You just know!

    1. MiMi, yes I know why you are jaded my dear friend. Bad relationships tend to do that to a person. Right after my divorce to Mr. Nightmare, I shared your opinion. Then fate took its course and I met my soul mate. So life has a way of working out the way it should. Sometimes the path you take to get you where you always need to be is lined with big ass potholes and you learn as you go but it also helps you really appreciate that little slice of heaven when you finally get it. Thank you for stopping in to read and for your comments.

  2. It's really nice when you keep falling in love with the same person over and over again too. Love is such an amazing feeling and emotion, isn't it Kathy?

  3. Of course, love sucks when it all goes to crap - which is my experience of it. :D But yeah, it's great while it's good!

  4. yep...that's about the size of it!!! Although I'd met my guy when we were kids and we weren't even really friends, my heart did flip flops when he sent me a friend request. Scared the hell out of me. How fast I fell for him scared me too. Now I can't imagine life without him and it kills me that we finally hooked up when we were nearly 50 instead of years ago.

    1. JoJo, isn't it amazing the journey life takes us on? I think it is cool that you knew Russell when you were a kid and somehow managed to end up together when you weren't ever really friends in the past. Suffice to say that you probably needed to wait for him until now so you would appreciate what a gem he truly is. Back then, you just didn't see it. Fate took its course and I am so happy for you! Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!

  5. But better than the sparks that ignite, is when you can belt out the chorus and sing along since you know your other so well.

    1. Mrs, Tuna, exactly...and that just underlines the fact you are meant to be together especially if you are decidedly off key and having the time of your life at the time. LOL Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!

  7. Don't faint!! It is only me!! LOL. Sparks fly-- but what really hit me when I met my husband is that I KNEW...I knew the moment I laid eyes on him that he was the one. Call it a gut, intuition, or whatever-- it was like my soul said "that's your mate." and he was. :)

    Sweet post!
