Love at First Sight

This is it!

This is it!

You’re the one

I took one look
And I knew

I knew it undeniably
In my heart
That you’re the one

Love at first sight

Wistful
Whimsical
Sigh

:::

This is it!

You took me by surprise

You shimmered
And shined

You dazzled
And winked

This is it

I’m in love

Would it only be
That the perfect guy
Is as easy to find
As you –

The perfect top
My perfect gift

Alas
That it should be otherwise

Sigh.

Yours truly can't help but wonder, is it me again or does love at first sight for people really exist? Yours truly have at first sight, fell for a perfect item of clothing for both myself or more generally the case, for my friends. But so far, yours truly has not met a person that quicken yours truly's oh-so-cold heart. I'm inclined to believe that love at first sight between human doesn't exist.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to believe (in some rare moments of sentimental angst & mellowness) that love at first sight does exist. But from what I observe around me, yours truly is more inclined to suggest that lust at first sight exists but not love at first sight simply because people I know who say they fall in love at first sight, upon probing, it turns out (at least to yours truly) that it's merely attraction, physical one at that. Only the rare lucky few does lust at first sight turn into something lasting. Whether one can call the "something lasting" as love, yours truly feels uniquely unqualified to judge. *shrug*

But if for argument sake, love at first sight exists, or if any of you dear frens, feel that it does exist, then tell me, for yours truly is interested to know, what really constitute love? It is the companionship? Is it the need to be together? Does he/she make you complete? If not, can you still call it love? Pardon my ignorance, but yours truly haven't seen evidence of real lasting emotion that the dear poets call love.

Perhaps love in essence and in itself is undefinitable? You either feel it or not? Such a devious sneaky way out and so easy. Yes, it's so easy to just dismiss the issue, just claim that love is not tangible and cannot be put into words, but really, yours truly can't help but point out that this is the ostrich/coward's way of dealing with the unknown. There are of course, no real answers to be had, but does that therefore justify avoiding the topic, the reflection altogether?

I think not.

Human beings are given the capacity to think, to reflect and part of being able to do so, allows the capacity to truly love. Arrogant and egoistical of yours truly, I know. But I would like to believe so.

Won't you?
