Love at first Glimpse

Peter,

I fell in love with you before I could have a good look.

I was struck. I wasn’t ready or prepared.

It was the end of summer and I had just enjoyed the sunset from the balcony of my room in Brussels. In the distance I saw you cross the street, a faceless blurr of brown and green, but you caught my eye. I didnt Know you were you, but you turned into a golden ball of lovelight bouncing down the street. I heard you laugh and knew this laughter should be my home

Then I saw you were with a friend of mine, a friend who was coming to see me.

I opened the door, you smiled, I smiled. Your light filled the room and we hugged. I fell in love

now, 11 years later. 11 years spent together, I am still deeply and high in love.

the things we have done with our lives together seem like magic to me.

I would fall in love with you at first sight all over again, I do, all the time.

I still see a bouncing ball of lovelight
