You stumbled upon it it by chance, all of a sudden, the moment you least expected it, the thing you least expected it to be - but would you have found it, if you hadn't been looking for something else?
That day, I was struck by lightning. A complete stranger, strangely familiar. Eyes met, and eyes gazed, half knowingly, unbelieving, and they parted, and they met again. And something happened, and we didn't know what.
But we knew: This was it. The Universe let our paths cross, for one tiny, precious moment, and then tore us apart, leaving behind such sadness, and much more happiness, little hope and an aimless wish. A smile, and a goodbye, and the (un)certainty of a perfect memory that could endure forever.
There are no coincidences. There are no second chances. There are no shortcuts.
And you wish you had, and you wish you didn't...
And you forget: that is how you might find it.
(Sometimes I wonder if this is precisely what going nuts feels like. It's quite pleasant, actually.)
