Bring Back what once was mine

From the incantation song of the movie "Tangled", I cant help but sing the title when I found my book.

By the River Piedra I sat down and Wept, the first words from the book of the same title. No matter how long it has been I will never forget the book. My favorite love quote is there.

"But love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current"

That's why when we feel that little butterflies in our stomach most of us tried to resist it, deny it because if we allow a tiny portion of that feeling to affect us, soon enough it will consume us.

I didn't put name on the book, the reason I knew it was mine because, most of the quotes were in a faint pencil underline. I read the first few pages and read the first quote underlined. It was like fire traveling from my feet up, until my cheeks are all red. It was lost love found in an exact unexpected moment. First underlined quote was.

"Seek to live. Remembrance is for the old"

Then I smiled. It is my book, it was the same feeling I had when I first read it.

I could go on and on with the quotes underlined on this book. But we all know Paulo Coelho gives us all the quotes we need for us to nod our head and agree, or for our hearts to understand and make us put the book we are reading close to our hearts.

I'm just glad I found what was once was mine.
