a few thoughts on magic.

It felt like believing in magic. That's the best I can describe it. You know, falling in love for real. After falling in love and thinking it was real a few times before, I kept waiting for the hard truth to hit - the day you realize that you just thought it was love, but in reality - it was a case of the likes.

Then girl meets boy. He's nothing like she imagined. And yet, he's everything she needed. And boy meets girl and she's stubborn and tells him how it is. And for whatever reason - it works. They work.

And as one hang out session turns into an official dinner date, and a dinner date turns into spending time together after work everyday, and all of a sudden you aren't even thinking about dating anyone else and there is only him. And her. And it's magic because you never thought that could happen. Yet, right in front of your eyes, it is - love is happening.

He is sweet even though he denies it - she wears her heart on her sleeve even when she pretends she doesn't at first. They protect each other, brag on each other, and I's turn into We's and conversations about the future are all of a sudden inclusive and imagined together. It's magical because it feels like a fairy tale should. But it's real - love is happening.

And today - two people who found best friends in each other have also found love. And it's magical, because it feels so special even though it seems unlikely. Two people who found that just being honest and so blatantly themselves was the key to finally finding each other.

Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. It's like magic, but love is happening. Right here, today.

  1. I so wish I could believe in this, but I can't. I just don't think its in the cards for me at this point. I'm very happy for you though, and glad you found love.
