Love at First Sight

What is love at first sight?
"Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time."-
With A Little Help From My Friends- The Beatles
A definition is “an emotional condition whereby a person feels romantic attraction for a stranger on the first encounter with the stranger”. It is the fleeting sensation in your heart when your first meet someone (is it love or is it simply lust?). Or the moment where two people look into each other’s eyes. Yes, some say it is simply an overused and over-clichéd product of the Hollywood machine, while others spend their entire lifetimes chasing it. It is what keeps people awake at night, staring in the ceiling. And it fuels the stories of love lost, that they tell for decades to come. We spend our lives chasing life, chasing love, chasing happiness. And while some may say that love at first sight is a fairy tale, others take it at face value.
Love at first sight is something that everyone wants to believe in. Some never quite nurse their broken hearts; others are a modern-day version of Romeo, whose very existence relies on love. Its very conception and existence lies in the hopes and dreams of us all. A dream crooned in music, exemplified in the big screen, and wistfully dreaming about during class.
