For all of us, our first love is a specially agonising, powerful, uncontrollable emotion. Years ago, a friend of mine was chatting with a guy 9 years older to her. Finally they decided to meet, and needless to say, after a few meetings, she fell in love with him. Since we were only teenagers at the time, the age difference really bothered me. Also the fact that she had mostly communicated with him online and so, could not really have known him very well. She was a high strung person and could get extremely insecure at times.

This is one of the most corny love lines of any movie, and yet still sweet. Have you ever have a special song that had significant meaning for you and your loved one? I don’t mean necessarily that the words of the song applied to your relationship or anything, but maybe you just remember it being played at a special time, or you in some way connect it to your dating days. My husband and I had several, but there was always one particular song we claimed as ours. Every time I hear it now I am drawn back to a special date.

I was sitting at a fast-food table enjoying my"lunch". Nothing extraordinary about that...What was overwhelming was the stream of thoughts coming to my mind on that particular occasion. There I was, eating my order and watching the crowd moving continously to and fro. I seemed to concentrate my curiosity on those couples that were hanging out...just passing or stopping for lunch too. And I couldn't help wondering : How did they come across one another ? How long did it take for them to finally form that magical, interesting and intimate couple ?

The music starts playing and the song is slow and rhythmic. I lean in and ask.."would you like to dance?". She smiles and says, "yes". We both stand and start walking to the dance floor. She walks in front and reaches back for my hand, which I take in mine. It amazes me that just the touch of her hand makes me smile.

"Have you wondered why you miss someone? What causes the reaction to feel that someone important in your life is not near you? Is it the fear of being alone? Is it the fear of not being able to be with the person you hold dear in your life? Could it be suddenly your home became quieter; that the sound of laughter and soft spoken words were not there?
