No, this is not about firecrackers, bottlerockets, or literal showers of colored lights in the sky. It's about fireworks between two people.
I was wondering if that happened anymore once you've been burned or if you meet someone and have some degree of physical attraction and then from there you determine whether they are otherwise a good fit or have good qualities. Does the stupid, reckless puppy-love of early relationships happen again after divorce, or is it more like a job interview?
That's my current dilemma. I don't feel that anymore. Does a person wait for that to happen, or just be around someone interesting and see what develops. I can't remember the last time I felt the sensation of being madly in love; the desire to be around someone all the time or at the very least have some form of contact continuously. Does that happen anymore? Should I wait for that?
On another thread I saw it written..."Have you ever been so much in love that it hurts?" and I thought about that. That kind of love seems to come to me when it's unreciprocated love. When I feel in love, but it's not returned so it has nowhere to go. I wonder if that's love or just longing. I don't think it's a real, mature love. That kind is boring. It would be fun though to start out with the goo-goo gaa-gaa love that makes you loopy and silly.
