Falling in love
Falling in love is a wonderful feeling to us all. There are many ways that two people can fall in love. One of the ways could be "love at first sight". When you see someone for the first time and in that instance you form such a strong attraction, that you know that the both of you were meant for each other. It's like you almost get mesmerized, you're speechless and you get this funny butterfly feeling in your stomach and you don't even know what to do with yourself. To me, that is what you would call "love at first sight". But there are also other ways that two people can fall in love; like in the movie Possession, Two poets named Cristabel Lamott and Randolph Ash met by chance at a dinner party, which started an attraction leading them to falling in love. However in this modern age of technology, people can meet on the internet and eventually fall in love without first meeting the person physically, as my fiancÐ"©e and I did. We met online and started the attraction, which lead to us falling in love.
One day Randolph Ash was invited to a dinner party for poets so he decided to go. At the dinner party he was introduced to two female poets, which one of them was named Cristabel Lamott. They only spoke a few words to each other at the party but somewhere in those words they had an attraction for one another. But even though Ash had a wife that he loved in a companion kind of way and Lamott had a lover named Blanch which she lived with, that did not stop the attraction between them.
As time went by they began a friendship by writing letters to each other. These letters were hand written by Ash and Lamott. These letters had a special uniqueness to them, the paper was chosen by them personally, and the way they wrote these letters in their own handwriting had a special one of a kind significance to one another. These letters were almost like poetic love letters. By Ash reading one of Lamott's letters that she wrote to him, he could feel what each word meant in his heart, that's how deep it was. He could picture those words coming right out of her lips as if she was right in front of him. Lamott felt the same way about Ash's letters, she cherished them.
With time these letters became so intimate that, Ash and Lamott fell in love through the poetic words within the letters. The letters became secretive as the got more romantic because Ash and Lamott had their significant other, and they didn't want them to find out about their relationship. At this point Ash wrote a letter to Lamott inviting her to go on a 4 week romantic voyage with him and him alone to Yorkshire. Ash fell in love with her and wanted to spend time with her alone and nobody else. But after Lamott read the letter, she replied to Ash and told him that she would not go. This was because in a way she didn't want to hurt her lover. Ash got mad at first when he read how she wanted to pretty much end it with him. But he still continued to write letters to her in hope that she would change her mind, but he got no replies. So after some time he decided to have a letter personally delivered by hand to her, hoping that it would reach her and asking her why she hasn't wrote back to him.
When Lamott read this letter, she confronted Blanch and asked her where all her letters were. She found out that her lover took the letters and hid them from her. Blanch took the letters because she wanted Lamott and her to be like they were before she met Ash. But the stealing of the letters got Lamott so mad, and as a result of her lover taking and hiding these precious love letters from her. She decided to take Ash up on the offer of going away with him to Yorkshire out of anger towards her lover. So, on their romantic voyage of 4 weeks they visited many places and spent all of their time together. They fell deeper and deeper in love as the days went by, which lead them to finally being physically intimate in the room that they were staying in.
But in these modern days because of the internet, one can meet a person and become friends online through chat sites. One day I decided to join a chat site called migente.com, it's a web site where you can post a profile and a picture and chat with people and it's totally free. Through this chat site I met this wonderful person named Christina who is currently my fiancÐ"©e. Because of the internet we became friends and wrote emails back and forth to each other. At first we didn't write that often but with time we got to know each other better and we started to write more often. As time went on we started to see an attraction for each other. We decided to talk on the phone. It was great, she would make me laugh, and we would share secrets with each other. Sometime we would talk for hours and I still didn't want to get off the phone, that's how much I enjoyed hearing her voice.
One day she decided to visit me and I was so nervous to meet her in person. But it turned out pretty good, we spent some time together, we got to know each other much better and most of all we felt a strong physical attraction for each other. That made me feel really good because I was
