Falling in love is very real but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then we met and everything changed the cynic has become the converted the sceptic an ardent zealot.

It starts so young and Im angry about that. The garbage were taught. About love about whats romantic. Look at so many of the so-called romantic figures in books and movies. Do we ever stop and think how many of them would cause serious and drastic unhappiness after The End Why are sick and dangerous personality types so often shown a passionate and tragic and something to be longed for when those are the very ones you should run for your life from Think about it. Heathcliff. Romeo. Don Juan. Jay Gatsby. Rochester. Mr. Darcy. From the rigid control freak in The Sound of Music to all the bad boys some woman goes running to the airport to catch in the last minute of every romantic comedy. She should let him leave. Your time is so valuable and look at these guys--depressive and moody and violent and immature and self-centered. And what about the big daddy of them all Prince Charming What was his secret life We dont know anything about him other then he looks good and comes to the rescue.
You two are too cute the counter girl said setting two cups piled with whipped cream on the counter. She had a sort of lopsided open smile that made me think she laughed a lot. Seriously. How long have you been going outSam let go of my hands to get his wallet and took out some bills. Six years.I wrinkled my nose to cover a laugh. Of course he would count the time that wed been two entirely different species.Whoa. Counter girl nodded appreciatively. Thats pretty amazing for a couple your age.Sam handed me my hot chocolate and didnt answer. But his yellow eyes gazed at me possessivelyI wondered if he realized that the way he looked at me was far more intimate than copping a feel could ever be.I crouched to look at the almond bark on the bottom shelf in the counter. I wasnt quite bold enough to look at either of them when I admitted Well it was love at first sight.The girl sighed. That is just so romantic. Do me a favor and dont you two ever change. The world needs more love at first sight.
Im not sentimental--Im as romantic as you are. The idea you knowis that the sentimental person thinks things will last--the romanticperson has a desperate confidence that they wont.
