it's a small world after all.....

what an amazing day of football that was.
all in all, it was great day with the matches occupying tv time and a very nice and simple and small bbq dinner, topped off with a classic film
(Carlito's Way if you're interested - one of many that I keep buying from HMV from their 3 for 20 section).
Now this is not by any means a happy romantic film, being a gangster flick and all that but at the heart of it, is a theme about relationships.
The central character has just gotten out of prison and runs into (or perhaps he goes looking for) his old girlfriend, a person that he chose to let go of before he went to prison, to cut off ties to the outside world and in some twisted logical way, make it easier on him. However, on seeing her again, he realises that he's never forgotten about her, nor has how he felt changed. All he did was shovel it under the carpet. The scene when he actually sees her face again illustrates this best as he is simply frozen, captivated by her.

Has that ever happened to you?
Have you ever met/known anyone that for some unknown reason, before you've ever spoken to them, had already gotten to you completely; hook line and sinker (as they say?)
(sorry... this is cliche night)
You can not see them or even speak to them for days, months and sometimes, maybe even years but the moment some kind of contact is made, you are back where you were all of them years ago, standing in a corridoor, looking into a room and just totally captivated by that person.
It is at the same time, the best thing in the world and yet it is also the worst thing in the world.
The best because you may have just met the most wonderful person in the world.
The worst because you might not actually get to meet them....
If you do and it works out, then you are one of the luckiest people on the planet.

So this is for all you love birds out there.
The next time,you are with the person you love, think about the first time you saw them and how you felt then and forget anything bad that might have happened between you.
Not everyone is as lucky as you are.
