intrignfantacie:

Exactly, he has merely fell in love as a child, as I have watched my
children truly magically find the sweetest girls so enchanting as
kindergardeners and growing up knowing they were bound to see each
other on a daily basis in school, although not in the same circle, now
in high school still not in the same circle, and possibly knowing they
will probably never be together, but the enchantment the magic is so
apparent when they see each other that i know (they can not because
their hormones are sooo unfocused) their magic is very deeply embedded
and theirs for a lifetime.
