I've always been afraid of possibilities. You know, I'm the person who orders the same thing from the same menu for years. A fear of disappointment I guess, or I tend to let myself fall in love. Mel's Big Baby breakfast is all I order from that restaurant; always with the same sides, and always sunnyside up.
When I find something special I try my best to stick to it. You know when you order a latte and you realize this is what a latte is supposed to taste like? Or when you order Young Chow fried rice in Hong Kong in a little roadside restaurant and you know it'd never taste right again made anywhere else.
For that rare time in your life when you find true love, think of it this way: you've found someone whose arms are special - this is what an embrace is supposed to feel like. A kiss doesn't have to be explosive, or burn up like a bonfire. It's what a kiss is supposed to feel like. Like touching a cashmere scarf or having a cat lay on your lap and letting it fall asleep and feel the peace and warmth it feels being near you. It's not something that you've been waiting for; it's not something you'd expect. Love is just love, and when you find it, you'd realize...this is what love is, and what I've been without all along. I want to be in this embrace forever because another one won't be the same as this.
