They weren't looking. They weren't set out for true love, long term, or commitment. "Casual". That's all they wanted. But one of them was sick. So they chatted. They did 8 hours calls after their 8 hour work days. They made a second full time job out of getting to know one another. They skimmed the surface of nearly every topic and never once hesitated to dive into the deepest topics. Without meeting once they learned so much in such a short time. He asked "Do you believe in soul mates". She answered "Have you heard of the star dust theory". The stardust theory is that everything that ever was came from star dust. As galaxies form and star dust scatters their very atoms travel the universe to find each other again. People are made of those atoms, and they still find their way to each other. And then they met. And they embraced. Held hands at the farmers market. Got lunch, and dinner. They melted right into each other. They met those important to the other, went to new and old places making memories. They become someone important to each other. And silently the "casual" relationship, the non-existent commitment, became an undeniable, natural love.
