The spark

How many times have you heard the sentence, “There just wasn’t any spark.” I am guessing at least a few dozen times from someone or the other.

No one can really define “the spark,” but it does exist. In some ways or the other, it just does. You’ll know when there is spark, and you will when there isn't any. You can meet the nicest, most attractive person, and you can try to be more than just friends with the person, but sometimes there is this one thing missing. This one thing that makes you smile when you think about the person, or be passionate about them. You can wonder however much you want. But the spark comes naturally.

As you grow older, it gets harder to find it. Brains function better and they try to force you into a sparkles relationship. You know who you should be with, but you don’t know whether you should be with the one you want to be with.

(I am so not old in absolute terms but even I feel this)

I think sparks can happen instantly. You can just spend 2 minutes with a person and you’ll know it. You’ll smile a lot, you’ll want to know more about them, you know with one touch you can have shivers going through your spine. You’ll know it.

(Obviously you can realize later that person is the biggest douche in the planet)

But sparks happen. And they are just beautiful. For someone like me, it is hard to find. I don’t get those anymore. I used to, but I can’t even remember when was the last time………
