Remembering a Young Love

I remember clearly the young men to whom I was drawn in my youth. Like them, I do not seek the old relationship when I think about them, for most of us are comfortable and settled in our mature lives. However, I do remember the glimmer of something special that glowed about that person in their youth. My curiosity wonders how the distinctive characteristic developed over the years and how it is now manifested today. A reunion does not provide the answers to that question because of the posing for expectations in a group of many people. It is human curiosity to know such things, and discover the unexpected qualities that emerged. I think that we all hope that the presence of the extraordinary quality coexists with the experienced personality. Maybe this is one of the reasons that we seek out old beaus, friends, and acquaintances, and attempt to discover where the person is on the road of life.
