Seeing...

I've been thinking a lot lately about how you know you've met that special someone. It hasn't happened for me in years, and even then, not in the true sense where one just 'clicks' with someone else, and you just 'know'...

To me it is like seeing someone clearly for the first time, and connecting to them on a deeper level. Really seeing them. Pulling down all those barriers that we tend to carry around with us as we go about our busy day to day lives, where we are most of the times distanced from strangers in the street, and shops, colleagues at wok and people on public transport - that layer of personal space and politeness that we tend to carry around with us on a day to day basis...

When you meet someone, who at the same time clicks with you just as much as you click with them, all those layers fall away, and it is as if you are looking at each other anew, really looking, and connecting and learning about each other at a lovely, personal pace...almost like the world around you is different from the energy in the space between you...you both are operating on your own frequency, where you are attuned to each other, and the world slows down in significance when you are both near each other...

I'm not sure I'm saying this well enough, but, on some level, I do believe that that is part of the process of falling in love, of instant chemistry that means that you both see each other and focus on each other so much more than anything else at the beginning, especially when you genuinely like that person too...
