Two to Tango

Tonight I saw a love story disguised as a horror film. Two completely different young souls blended perfectly together in the presence of one another. The boy was your typical bullied odd-kid out with just a Rubik's cube to call his friend. The girl was not quite human. A 12 yr. old vampire unable to grow close to anyone... in fear that she might one day hurt the one she loves. But feelings can be stronger than your subconscious DOs and DONT'S. In a short time, they went from strangers to companions. What they thought could never be... happened. I watched the stages of attraction: from 'Nice to meet you', to the yearning to want to be close to each other, to finding that they cared. They cared enough to sacrifice and protect.

There is a fence that two people leap over at a certain point in their time spent together. That fence is the initial and superficial attraction. The leap is the moment when you know you want to be there with them, for them and speak a few words to lay your cards out on the table. You will feel vulnerable and you might find it easier to run than to stay, but at the end of the day it's best to call yourself lucky to have such a human connection.

Caring for another person is an obstacle. Is it because we're looking out for ourselves? Maybe it's because we fear the 'inevitable' downfall... Heartbreak. But we can't think of ourselves when we're caught up in a tango and we all know, it takes two to do it. If you find yourself in a lucky streak, jump the fence.
