And then it happens.....
Love grabs you by the hand and doesn't let you go.
You try to see, to understand, you even try to resist.......but why? And how?
If love is all you were looking for, how can you try to oppose to its strength?
And so it happens.
And you stumble, and then you fall........deliciously, you let yourself fall.
And you don't know where this fall will land you.....how it will find you....if standing like an eager soldier ready to battle or laying like a weak leaf..... if like a whole or, instead, smashed in thousand little pieces that would form that scattered, sleep deprived, stuttering, unfocused, childishly happy you that is the you that you have become since you fell in love..
Falling in love is like precipitating inside a well......like inside a web of words and echoes, like inside a dream, like inside yourself.
Falling like you never will land anywhere.
And it might happen so fast that you will hardly realize you are already different from the one you were before falling in love.
Because love has this tendency of creating a mind that doesn't quite function, a heart that is only flutters, a body that only desires.
So that the desire is what will shape you from now on. And while earlier on you might have used your body and gave it casually and carelessly......now that same body (that has the shape of you falling in love) has became like a different body ...
Just when love makes you walk a feet from the ground creating this distracted creature, so light and delightful....the same love gives new density and heaviness to your body.... transforming it in something unavoidable, electrified and highly aware of itself...
Because the body you have contains the you that you are now.....its the shell of your soul that you with trepidation offer to the eyes of the same loved one who made you fall in love......
Then during this process- magically - a hand is born again as a brand new tool. A mouth is used to reach new bliss, the eyes turn in a instrument with double meaning.....being Evil's and Good's instrument at the same time...
But we all know that - unfortunately - love can also divide and separate.....it does ...firstly it separates you from the who you were before falling in love and, secondly, from who was loving you before you fell in love.....with a different one...
Your dearest friends might turn their back to you....you might end up hurt them and make them cry....and you will cry too then.....because the last thing in the world you ever wanted do when you fell in love was hurting them.....changing the love you were feeling fro them..changing their love for you...
And yet you did it.....and you are sorry but you couldn't do differently....
Because despite everything, love happens.
And it might happen to any of us.
So tell me.......did it happen to you? It's happening now?

This was quite a beautiful post, Gingery. And so very true. You captured the feeling of love so perfectly.And yes, this has happened to me. Everyone should be so lucky to feel that way at least once in their life. It really does have the power to change your very being, doesn't it? -

Ginger, you put whipped cream on the dessert of love and somehow make it into a meal of a lifetime. -

Boxy.........than you, my questioning friend....:-)
You are right.....everyone should feel - at least once in a lifetime - the powerful touch of love....i think we allow love to change us only when we are ready to change....isn't this what we call surrendering?
Infernal.....i am glad you have a heart echoing with that yes.....it is reflected in the beautiful family you are raising and protecting.......your love for them is so evident...:-)
LJ......as usual, your words resonate in me...your kindness is something that touches me anytime....thank you....{hug}

Oh it's happening to me right now...
The other night, I was half asleep talking to my lady "L" and I muttered, "You're welcome". I think I was having a semi-dream about my new job. :D
She laughed. Reminded me of it the next day.
I've fallen.
Hopelessly, head over heels, madly, unequivocally, completely. And I continue to fall deeper and deeper each day. My friends make fun of me, but I don't care...
I hope one day you feel as I do.
Unless... You're feeling it already?!!
