Don't I know it.

Remember when you watched Pride and Prejudice, and it got to this part?

"You have bewitched me, body and soul, 
and I love, I love, 
I love you. 
I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."

And, do you like, remember getting a tiny girl-rection? 

And do you remember your heart melting and then cooling/hardening, in quick succession, as you realized real life is not like that, and the last time you felt like that was at Taco Bell when they gave you extra sauce packets?

Well, don't. In fact, I say move over, mild, hot, and fire sauce. Get out of my glove box. Get out of the minifridge in my office. I WILL be Keira someday. And some hunky man will come stomping across a field in the morning fog (neither of us could sleep), and tell me that. And he'll say "I mean, you say bitch and shit a lot, but I still Love, I Love, I Love you."

And I will try with all my might to remember what immense pain felt like, and so I'll think back to this time, but My Own Mr. Darcy type will be so nice to me and so dreamy, that I will not be able to recall this type of pain.

It WILL happen.

Mmm. Fourthmeal.

Here here! And since you've now quoted one of your favorite movies (which is also one of mine), I shall now quote MY favorite movie:

"I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. Be deliriously happy! ... Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? You forget your head and listen to your heart; and I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk! If you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try. Because if you havent tried, you havent lived. ... Who knows, lightning could strike!"
-William Parrish
Meet Joe Black

I've felt these feelings twice, both times for too-short a period, and both times it was ended by the girl's fear of such profound happiness. But I will feel them again! And I pitty anyone who has lost faith that such a romance and joy can be found in life!

I am now updating myself with your life. I am very behind I realize and I am not very far in but for what it is worth I am very sorry for what happened to you. On a personal note I understand what you are going through or have gone through, whichever. I won't presume to know what you are going through since everyone's experiences are different but the situation surely sucks.
