Moments of gold, flashes of light

Dear future hubster,

There are many memorable, significant, irrelevant but sweet moments in every relationship.

Two of my favourites are:

The moment before you first kiss me. That split second when I already know that it's going to happen; when all excitement and anticipation boils up to near explosion point; and

The moment when all is said and done, either because we decided that we are going to do this, and invest time and energy in a tomorrow and maybe even a next week together, we're relieved from having made that big decision, and the responsibility feels like a noble one because we chose to bear it; or, because we came to the conclusion, that "this", whatever it may be, can no longer go on, for reasons within and beyond us; we're relieved from having made that big decision, and the feeling of responsibility hasn't even started fading away.

Those are deliberating moments, when things appear the way they are, raw, random, senseless, meaningful. Life is a little more intense then, and a glimpse of the proverbial bigger picture is sneaking around the corner.
