Do You Realize?

Sitting there, alone at the bus stop, far from my life and everyone I know, a feeling came over me. It was like remembering something I'd never known before or had always been waiting for, but I didn't know what. Maybe it was something I'd forgotten or something I've been missing all my life. All I can say is that I felt, at the same time, joy and sadness. But not too much sadness, because I felt alive. Yes, alive. I felt the rain fall upon my body as I walked block after block, amongst throngs of people I once knew in another life. Raindrops sat upon my eyelashes and formed dew drops on my hair. That was the moment I fell in love.
