"I Am Always Remembering..."

When people fall in love they not only change themselves, but in their eyes the whole world changes. They may have been commonplace or dull before. But once in love they take on a strange brightness. And however uninteresting and dreary the world may have seemed to them, it at once becomes a fairyland.

- John Daniel Barry

I remember discovering this for myself, I'd had a few brushes with this phenomena before, but when he entered my life, the whole world really did look different... I saw and heard things that had always been present but that I had never truly seen or heard before. The stars in the night sky never seemed so bright and it seemed as if the moon itself was casting its light upon just the two of us. The glory of the sunrise was like a new birth each and every day. And the birds songs never sounded so sweet as when he had come into my life.

And I remember, one wonderous Sunday morning, lying in his arms intoxicated by his presence and hypnotized by the beating of his heart under my ear, and hearing this song in a Canadian television commercial as I explained Coronation Street to him...  And it was during that sublime moment, remembered ever since, that I knew the world would never be the same again...

He was my ordinary miracle, and

I am always remembering...
