"The heart has its reasons which reason does not understand"

At some point in our lives, whether early in childhood or late in adulthood, we develop feelings for someone, which starts a relationship, and sometimes these relationships fail. Because a relationship fails, it does not mean that you are a bad person, it just means that you and this particular person are not compatible. It does not mean that you cannot find love with someone else.

After watching movies like, Sleepless in Seattle, Premonition, and Bridges of Madison County, some of us, if we have never felt that "real thing," that "magic," we tend to yearn for it and will even imagine it.

Her family finally moved away to another city and unfortunately, her marriage did not work out. During the rough patches, she dreamt about this man, holding her hands through it all. In fact, she felt as if it was his strength and the look on his face that brought her through the most devastating times of her life.

For every unhappy time that she endured, he was therein her heart. He was her strength, her light and the only thing that she held on to because in her heart she felt that one day, their souls would meet each other. She knew in her heart that they were going to be together one day. How and why she did not know.
