Koi No Yokan

Koi No Yokan is a beautiful Japanese concept that holds a deeper meaning than love at first sight. It is a feeling that you get upon meeting someone that the two of you are going to fall in love.

It's really funny because I wasn't supposed to meet you that day, but when you hugged me after the struggle of finding each other in different train lines, I felt I made the right decision to be with you anyway.

Koi no Yokan.
Love.
I already knew that someday we'll get there.

When you chuckled when I asked you to walk slower because I have short legs, I fell a little bit more. A few drinks later and lots of laughter over concert anecdotes, I found myself drawn to you. It was as if I already knew you from somewhere and I'm just trying to remember who you are.

Just short of two hours after we met, we held hands. A few minutes later, we kissed. My lips were inexperienced, but they fit with yours like they were made for each other. You wrapped your arms around me and though I was in a foreign country, it felt more like home more than any place in the world.

Koi No Yokan, what a glorious concept. I don't love you... yet, but soon things will get even better.

Honey, let's wait for each other there.
