One step closer

If everything "works out" like people say...then why can't people sense what is to come?
Why is it that people can't feel the immense attraction and meaning that someone 
will soon have in their life?
In my life...
I meet someone, and a friendship develops.  
That person becomes so valuable to me.  
Kind of like beautiful marriages that develop from a chance meeting. 
Or that best friend that used to annoy you in high school. 
It's as if every encounter was orchestrated to form the bond...just the way it is. 
Why can we not sense that HUGE potential that the person has in our life.
They're going to become so important to us and we simply cannot see it yet!
When I first met the people that I cherish today, I had absolutely NO 
idea what they would mean to me in the future. 
I guess it's kind of similar to the idea of "love at first sight" and how a lot of people "don't believe in it". 
Love at first sight is kind of what I long for in life.
To see the beauty and meaning and potential that each person has. 
I want to remember that each person that I know, each moment that I experience, has 
SUCH POTENTIAL! I just don't see it yet...
