Love at first....

Some people talk about love at first sight, I say bullshit.  The only thing you know at first sight is if you desire the other person physically then your subconscious says "yeaaahhh I could put up with a lot of bitch for a little bit of that" or "She/he might be intolerably stupid but very cute, I could put up with stupid".  The fact is that time will "un-cute" or "un-hot" just about anyone.  Then what do you have?  I bitchy troll?  A stupid old man?  That's a gross oversimplification of matters, but it's to make a point.  Love at first sight is something I do not believe in....I do, however, believe in love at first though.
I once met a person that I loved at the first conversation I had with them. They were fun, witty and easy to talk to.  We conversed for some time and I was very in love with her.  I had never met her, I had never seen her, I had never heard her voice but I loved who she was as a person.  I loved her for her thoughts, her opinions, her taste and ideas. I loved her for her.  She loved me for me and loved that I loved her without seeing her.  As time passed we met and I was stunned to see just how beautiful she was.  I was in love before I knew her beauty though because her real beauty was from inside of her.  Her heart, her mind and her soul.  I hope some day I can feel that with someone again.  That is someone I can grow old with.  Someone I share opinions, thoughts and ideals with.  Someone who loves me for me and I love them for who they are.  Not a love of looks or financial status but a love of genuine proportions. That is what I hope for in the future and that is what I believe in.  Love at first sight? HA! What a crock.  I believe in love at first thought.
