      I wanna hold your hand

      Remember that scene in City Slickers when Curly (the wise old cowboy) talked of being "in love" once?
      He goes on to describe a beautiful woman who he spied hanging out her clothes. He never talked to her, yet he felt he'd fallen for her.
      It was a windy day. I was a young mother in my late twenties. I had stopped by a local "Mom and Pop" store for milk and as I opened my door, a stack of papers fell out. The wind sent them flying. As I was chasing them, I was joined in the pursuit, by a handsome young man in a shirt and tie.
      His eyes were intelligent and deep. He was a complete stranger.
      As he handed me the papers he had saved, I felt like I was in a cartoon. It seemed like sparks were flying from our fingers!
      There was a connection,an attraction, the likes I have never felt since. I could tell that he felt it too.
      Embarrassed by this, we nodded good bye and he left.
      Never did I see him again.
      I felt, for a short time, that I had some how been unfaithful to my husband.
      It was only one moment... but I had felt " in love".
      Now I knew what Curly meant...
