Something happened

Something happened today. Something filled up my heart, making it a lot fuller than usual. No, it was not about to explode. But it was a lot fuller. The songs, those romantic songs, that sing about how good life is, move me now. Just yesterday, they would have me groan in pain.

Unusual. It is. I feel I could love. The cynic in me somehow got his voice smaller. I don’t know how. Maybe someone prayed. I could even hear something soft in Chapman’s voice today.

Again, in front of my white laptop, I think I am ready to write a fairy tale, of just two people falling in love, one with a happy ending.

I could watch Four Weddings and a funeral again and run through that love declaration that Charles made to Carrie – my favorite love declaration from the movies. I had loved it once and had watched it over and over, like a hopeless addict.

I think I can pull off a romantic love story – songs, poems and candles, all of them.

To take things further, I think I could even think "that moment, that thing" could happen. Yes, I think.

From Four Weddings and a Funeral:

Charles: Ehm, look. Sorry, sorry. I just, ehm, well, this is a very stupid question and... , particularly in view of our recent shopping excursion, but I just wondered, by any chance, ehm, eh, I mean obviously not because I guess I've only slept with 9 people, but-but I-I just wondered... ehh. I really feel, ehh, in short, to recap it slightly in a clearer version, eh, the words of David Cassidy in fact, eh, while he was still with the Partridge family, eh, "I think I love you," and eh, I-I just wondered by any chance you wouldn't like to... Eh... Eh... No, no, no of course not... I'm an idiot, he's not... Excellent, excellent, fantastic, eh, I was gonna say lovely to see you, sorry to disturb... Better get on...
Carrie: That was very romantic.
Charles: Well, I thought it over a lot, you know, I wanted to get it just right.
