I don't usually write this sort of stuff, but a couple of people have told me it's the best way to represent emotion, so I will. No comments about arthouse. Honest.

A true timeless moment comes but once, I thought to myself as I floated in the darkness. It doesn't matter when, or why, or where, or how. The only thing that matters is who. And as I floated, I knew who that person was. In some ways I'd known it for a long while, but it takes something to spark off, something that you don't control for once. It set me floating, I thought with a wry smile. I was the one in control, and I thought that the knowledge that I could do no wrong in their eyes was good. But to lost that control, and see yourself utterly powerless before someone is awe-inspiring, and can spark off something in an instant. It doesnt need to be known how the change happened; from what was to what is, just that it has happened, and you know that you were never truly happy before it happens.
Yet, I resisted. Why, I thought to myself, as I floated. When the chains were snapped and I felt the pull, why did I arch my back against it and try to resist the force I knew I had no chance of opposing. I resisted for the longest time, and then, suddenly, I knew I had choice but to let go and float off into a new world of darkness. Exhilaration is only a word until you know what it is.
And now, after floating in the darkness where time does not exist and only two people draw breath, I know what it is to be helpless. I know what it is to lie back and let the world wash over you, secure in your own mind, holding on to the person that makes life worth living. Thoughts so focused and intense that they can sustain you through sorrow or loss, coming through with a smile on your face from the knowledge that the best is yet to come.
Yes, a true timeless moment comes but once, I thought. I can place a name on the emotion that fills you when it happens.
Love.

Nice stuff. I love this forum. It doesn't appear that I hang here, as I post few replies, but I find myself just reading things. And liking them.

Exactly.

Exactly.
This forum rules. We've got so many good writers here writing about anything that comes to their minds, however personal, and everyone will recognize that and respect it. Post this in FOG Chat and you'd get idiots going "yuk girls" or something. Kid Rock, most probably.
Ach! This forum is now full of love!
Thats why I like this site. You can post stuff like that, like Stryke and I did, and not get any degrading/pretentious remarks back. Its a completly invisible walll of impartial thought.

Heh, I enjoyed that Stryke. For some reason I especially liked the line about exhilaration only being a word until you experience it. Not sure why, guess because it's true. {:)
Excellent stuff.
Excellent stuff.
Nice! Very good writing Stryke. I would say write more, but I'll leave it for you to decide...
Mexcellent Gaz, you should write more story-type/arthouse things :-D Seriously though, you should.
Nicely written. :0)
And yup, write more. :0D
