sometimes you just need a stranger in the darkness, a bench by the sea, and the waves washing up and down the shingle. A full moon rising in front of you laying a silver road almost to your feet adds to the scene but it is not nescessary. someone for whom you recognise the shape of thier soul.
if you don't understand that, or are not sure what it means, well i'll try to explain but you'll have to forgive me if you still don't understand, and you'll have to trust me. when you first meet somone you measure them against what you know, who you've met before, what they say, how they say it, what they do and how they act. you measure them against what you feel is right and wrong. what you know to be true.
you don't and can't do this consiously and most of the time you will not even know. then you will hit an epiphany moment. suddenly and all of a piece you will recognise them totally.
ever met someone totally outside your usual circle and after just a few moments feel like you've known them for years. feel that if for whatever reason that never associating with this person again will leave you poorer. you have recognised thier soul. it won't happen often, maybe will never happen at all, but it can happen. and when you don't let yourself believe that is has, and turn and walk away, you'll never realise until your heart starts to break over the loss.
