"What I Did For Love" (A CHORUS LINE)

I've always believed in the idea of romanticism--the emotions and depth of two souls connecting. But I've also been told that I usually can't tell when relationships take shape. Maybe my idea of it is too fantasized and the obvious is lost on me. But I'm not aware, more or less, which is actually true when I think about it. In the course of three years, I may not have seen relationships develop, but I certainly heard about them as soon as they become "visible" or "public." Sometimes I find out in the most unexpected ways. Yet I'm always happy for those that find someone special, and surprisingly I've known many from the volleyball court go from dating to engagement to marriage. Also there have been break-ups that can shake up the core of any volleyball group, and like other life situations, support is provided, given without question.

I bring this up because I found out recently of a volleyball friend who told me that she got engaged. Her fiancee also plays volleyball and I knew him from open play. They initially met through a friend at lunch one day. Then a few days later, they bumped into each other at Sunday open play, not knowing that the other played there. I can't believe how time has flown by so fast. And yet my romanticism is renewed.
