Chemistry

I found this while wondering about the "chemistry" involved between two people. Why two people seem to be attracted to each other on a level that's difficult to describe. You can't really explain why the attraction is and why it seems to grow but the blurb below kinda explains alot about chocolate. PEA is in chocolate.
Physical attraction (or lust) generally begins during our first contact
with someone. It can DEVELOP into something more over time, yet some pull is
there from the beginning. The chemical that results from this attraction (and
intensifies it) is phenyl ethylamine - or PEA. It is a naturally occurring
substance in the brain. Essentially, it is a natural amphetamine. It stimulates
us and increases both physical and emotional energy. The attraction causes us to
produce more PEA, which results in those dizzying feelings associated with
romantic love. Another substance that is released by PEA is dopamine. This
chemical increases a desire to be physically close and intimately connected.

Life is funny. You never know when you are going to have a new experience. Since we have been hanging out, I feel like a fire has been lit in me that hasn't burned in years. I find myself laughing in line at the grocery store or driving down the street just thinking about conversations we have had. You are the last thought that I have before I go to bed every night. I can't stop thinking about you, and us.

As I was laying in bed tonight I was thinking about how a person's current circumstance so greatly impacts life's experiences. If we would have met at a time when we weren't in relationships - I would be experiencing this relationship in a totally different way. The excitement of the relationship would be different. The thought of you possibly being my soul mate would be thrilling instead of scary. Scary because we may let it pass us by without being able to act on it.

I think you are wonderful!

Funny, yes it is. It's amazing to me how you can sum up in just two paragraphs all that I've been thinking and feeling but unable or scared to put into words.
