Love at first sight

Have you ever experienced love at first sight?
I have.

It has happened to me a couple of times.
The first time was in eight grade. I remember it very well. We were going to have physics, and was waiting outside our classroom as the bell had just rung. I was standing by the door, waiting for our teacher, when he and two of his friends passed by on their way to the teachers restroom. He was a spit image of my dream... Tall, dark hair, wide grin, flaming blue eyes and a laugh that just made my jaw drop to the floor...! I felt warm and cold inside, felt like I was thrown inside a tumbledryer, I felt like I was standing on stilts on jelly... I had tunnel vision and could no longer remember my name... I just had to know who this guy was... and if I had any chance at all... (which I of course doubted...) I soon found out who he was. His name was Casper... and he was two grades higher than me... For three long years I loved this guy! I spent every schoolbreak in his presence, but I doubt even to this day he ever noticed my presence. I remember making sure I was walking in through the door right after him, so that I could put my hand at the exact spot where he had had his hand a tenth of a second before me... I even had the courage to call him a couple of times... but I would always chicken out and say that I had called the wrong number... just to hear his voice... I even got interested in metal bands, as that was his favorite, and he even played in a band that I went to a concert to hear... I also got interested in basketball... because it was one of his games! His last year at school, we had a school sports day, and I knew he was going skiing with his friends. I didn't have any alpine skiis, so I knew I had to have a booring day at school, playing ball games. I was on team one, playing the first match against team two. We were playing basketball, so at least I was doing something he loved! Then suddenly I think I'm sleeping... because he's standing right in front of me!! Asking what team he's on... the judge says he is on team one...!! I almost fainted...! He was HERE!! On MY team!! I almost started to believe there is a God after all!! And what do you think happens? I run to the opponents basket, he throws me a ball, and I score!! What a thrill!!! I could almost hear weddingbells!! We have a lovely day, playing lots of games... but do you think I can manage to utter a single word to this guy...!!??? NO! My mouth is totally numb and dry, and I can't think of ANYTHING to say to him... What a waste! Then suddenly the day is over... and the year is over... and he is out of my life... like a butterfly that suddenly vanishes. POOOF...

I never told him... perhaps one day I will...!?? What is of importance is that I can recognize the feeling of "Yes!! This man I want to get to know!!" And I have learned that I should take the opportunity! No matter how the situation is, if he is Australian, a warlock or a computer programmer, if he is gay, 60years old or in a relationship... GET TO KNOW HIM!! Cause if I don't, I might never get the chance again. And who knows... perhaps this time I've found Prince Charming!!

(Or if he's committed in an unbreakable way, I might even find another best friend!!)
