Love, actually?

Oh, what is it like to fall in love? I love falling in love. I am generally a person who wants the world around to be a better place, all rosy and colourful and full of rainbows dotting the sky in all their brilliant splendour. Which is why I love the feeling of being in love, as opposed to being sore and gruff and grumpy all the time. I love knowing that someone, somewhere, thinks of me and misses me. As is the case with me right now. I have been trying to read about New Zealand cricket, and what their (possible) victory over the Pommies might mean to cricket in that country -- how it could be a changing, seminal moment in Kiwi cricketing history. Words and names are filtering in through my brain -- Peter Fulton, Brendan McCullum, magnificent batting, centuries in two innings, pacing the innings, etc. etc. But I cannot make heads or tails of them (not because I don't understand what those terms mean but only because my mind is so damn preoccupied. With thoughts of him. Gah.) So, I am staring at the laptop screen (with, as usual, ten tabs open together), juggling between the Guardian and Cricinfo (which, lately, I have stopped reading), and nothing in my brain registers. Nothing at all. All I can think about is him -- how he smiles, how he laughs, almost snorting at times when he is too caught up in the rush of that particular emotion, how he looks minus his glasses (I prefer him with the spectacles, though), how seriously he concentrates while watching his favourite team play, how he talks over the phone when dealing with work/office-related issues, how he has this ability of coming up with the lamest jokes and then patting himself on the back after it. And there I go, now I am writing a blogpost about my feelings. Yet again. When I should be reading some sport. It's difficult, it's so darn tough when the mind is unable to concentrate. It's jelly, almost like custard, flowing here, there and everywhere, unable to focus on any task at hand. But paradoxically, it is doing a superb job of concentrating solely on one thing -- Him.
