When he spoke, my bones ached...
Age is irrelevant when it comes to love - there is no such thing as 'too young' or 'too old.'
I don't care how old you are right now, 16 or 36, it doesn't matter. Remember that feeling? Remember that ache? Maybe it was yesterday, or twenty years ago, but he looked at you from under his lashes, gave you that secret smile, and your legs turned to jelly. He threw you a wink across the room and you couldn't catch your breath until your best friend pinched your arm. Remember?
Maybe you were standing in line somewhere - lunch-line, library, getting tickets for the football game - doesn't matter. His hand touched yours, that slight caress, soft and tentative - he liked you, but he was a little afraid you might not like him back. If you didn't, he could just pretend it was an accident. But you liked him too, and you smiled. Then he said 'Hi' with that sexy, deep voice and your eyes locked and you both held your breath. Remember?
Some have it, some lost it, some just dream of it, but no doubt about it, we all want it.....that connection that we know exists, that deeper feeling of living and breathing someone, that flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone relationship. It's part of what we live for, what we were created to have and to be. It is what we search for in faces and between pages. We don't wonder if it's out there, we know it is.
It's out there, but the only way to find it is to be patient and pay attention.
Meanwhile, be thankful for books like Tempus, where you can at least read about it. ;-)

Yes, the magic of books! Maybe that's why I read so much and write so much. I'm still looking for that special something to come into my life :)

Exactly, Tatiana. It is why we read and write so much, because that is what we desire. It is there for all of us, and you will absolutely find it. That 'something special' is out there with your name on it waiting for the perfect time to surprise you! :DThank you, Natalie. Please feel free to share it! =)
