Sparks Flew?

Sometimes you can have just a moment with someone. A nose graze, an almost kiss, a long look. A moment when you are doing something totally random, and suddenly things become sharp...charged. Even when you are madly in love and sure in your thoughts, you can be flustered, by an imagined 'spark'.It rankles.This unwanted awareness, of someone, whom you never looked at twice. Your universe shifts and gains a new focal point. And here, I am not talking about a long drawn out crush lasting over years,though it may seem like it.It is only in that few seconds, when your breath becomes ragged, every nerve in your body seems awake and a strange lethargy seizes you making movement impossible, that you suddenly question fidelity and all it's made out to be.And in the end, you don't actually get anything out of it. Maybe a tumble, if you are one of the adventurous types. But if you aren't, it turns into an excruciating moment, and just that. Why then, is it considered essential for two people to experience that, just to know that they might be remotely compatible.Is it not an unnecessary fusion of two four lettered words which do not need to be merged no matter how many letters they might have in common. The separation of State and Religion. Bureaucracy and Jurisdiction. I think the flower children had it right. A least for now.
