True Love

I went grocery shopping last night at the local superstore. Afterwards, I noticed a young couple in the parking lot. They were dancing…spinning and twirling together. Hugging, kissing. oblivious to the 10 or so people watching them. I was happy. Because I was witnessing True Love™, like in the movies.

My happiness quickly passed, much to my surprise and chagrin. It turned to sadness and just a little bit of jealousy. I’ve never experienced True Love™ before…never even close. And that made me sad.
