Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing.

Who do you think when you think of the "One"?

Maybe its the boy you grew up with. The one you thought you would one day marry. But realized before it was too late, that though you loved him you weren't in love with him.

Do you think of that first person you kissed. The kiss that was so sweet it made you see fireworks. In the middle of your living room, everything seem to fade away?

Or do you think of the person you lost your viriginity too? It wasn't the most romantic setting that you dreamed of with rose petals and candles. But it was that moment when you first felt things you never knew existed.

Maybe it was that first "Movie Moment," when he pulled you into the street in the middle of the pouring rain. He pulled you into him and kissed you. It was the most magical kiss of a lifetime. And you will never forget how you felt. Because that moment told you, that you were loved.

Or maybe the "One" was the boy who loved you unconditionally, and you should still be with. But you just had to say no. You came to realize later it was because you were shallow. And if you were still with him to this day, you know it would be the great love of your life. Too bad you didn't give it a chance.

Maybe it was the man you met who turned your world upside down. For the first time, lost in his eyes, you realized you were in love for the first time. While he wasn't Prince Charming, he was the Romeo to your Juliette. And though your love wasn't to last physical time, it would last an eternity in your heart.

Maybe its the only man you have ever both truely loved, and truely been in love with. And smiling when you see him with his girlfriend. Because you want your "One" to be happy. And that above all means you found real love.

Or maybe it was the more subtle love in your life. The one you weren't quite sure you loved, but you were almost tied to for a lifetime, because you almost shared the miracle of life. Only to lose that bond, and that miracle, along with your friendship.

I don't think as humans we can ever truely know who was "The One" in our lives. I think it's part of a bigger plan we can never truely understand.
