I never, ever expected that!
Remember that scene in City Slickers when Curly (the wise old cowboy) talked of being "in love" once?
He goes on to describe a beautiful woman who he spied hanging out her clothes. He never talked to her, yet he felt he'd fallen for her.
It was a windy day. I was a young mother in my late twenties. I had stopped by a local "Mom and Pop" store for milk and as I opened my door, a stack of papers fell out. The wind sent them flying. As I was chasing them, I was joined in the pursuit, by a handsome young man in a shirt and tie.
His eyes were intelligent and deep. He was a complete stranger.
As he handed me the papers he had saved, I felt like I was in a cartoon. It seemed like sparks were flying from our fingers!
There was a connection,an attraction, the likes I have never felt since. I could tell that he felt it too.
Embarrassed by this, we nodded good bye and he left.
Never did I see him again.
I felt, for a short time, that I had some how been unfaithful to my husband.
It was only one moment... but I had felt " in love".
Now I know what Curly was saying...
