They say love finds you when you least expect it. They say there's somebody out there for everybody, and that there are plenty of fish in the sea. Apparently love exists, and apparently it does not. To some, love is a curious thing. An intangible feeling, that doesn't exactly have a definition. To others, it's a pathetic myth that the human just isn't capable of feeling. There's just no such thing; especially not true love.

My name is Laraine Williams, and I guess I fall somewhere in between the two. All my life, I've wondered what it would feel like to fall in love; to be taken away from the world and become lost within another. Another full of bliss, happiness, contentment, and of course, that other person to whom you undeniably owe your happiness to.

On the other hand, however, considering nothing like that feeling has ever come within a million mile radius of my heart, it's very hard to believe that such a thing exists. In fact, maybe I don't at all. Maybe I just have hope.

But hope is such a strong feeling. And I hope and hope to God that some day, I experience love. That all-consuming love.

I hope.

I really, really do.
