But you are seeking logic in love, and there is no logic.
 Think about entering a crowded room, say a bar, you walk
 in, look around, and one or two faces stand out from the 
dull gray mass of people. Face and people that you are 
drawn to. Certainly, there are more attractive people there
 who don't catch your eye. Plus, you are attracted to these
 particular individuals based on nothing; you've never spoken
 a word to them, you don't know anything about them beyond 
the fact that you are drawn to them. That is frequently the 
beginning of a life long loving relationship. Just a glance 
across a crowded room; 'Strangers in the Night'.

bboyminn:

But that is the beauty of true and deep friendship, you don't
 need to stand on formality. You can express yourself freely 
to your dearest friends, and even when it is hurtfull, you 
understand. If you can't vent occassional around your true 
friends, then most like they are not really your true friends.
Certainly, any formality is lost on most married couples. If 
your going to live with someone, you have to be able to vent 
on occassion or the unresolved feeling fester until the 
question at hand can never be resolved. Better to vent and 
passionately make up, then to burn with unresolved anger.


Finally, let me quote Frank Sinatra and say -

"Strangers in the Night"

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -

Ever since that night weve been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.


I always loved that song.
