secrets and perfect love

I read the girl with the dragon tattoo today.
What if nobody had secrets?
What would the world be like then? Imagine if someone knew absolutely everything about you, like, everything. Every single thought you had ever had, and everything you had seen, everything you had done. That scares me. Nobody knows about everything in my life. Nobody. Imagine if you knew everything there is to know about someone. Or you could read their mind. Know what they are thinking about when you're talking, or when you come across random people on the street.

Imagine if you could hear peoples hearts in the street. If you walked along to a steady rhythm, and you found people whose hearts beat at exactly the same time as yours. Would they be your best friends? And then, one day you are walking along, and all of a sudden, above all the humming of the hearts and the murmer of the traffic and conversation, you could hear a soft melody. All your skin tingles and the hairs stand up on your neck, you feel yourself drawn towards this music. You feel as if you're falling and flying and spinning all at once. It's glorious and lovely and secret and wonderful.

Then you hear another song join it, it's coming from your chest. Your heart is singing. The music made by these two hearts is like magic and heaven and lollies and sunshine, golden liquid sunshine. The gentle notes wind around eachother, like the wind, and somehow together the music is more beautiful than life itself. The person whose heart is singing with yours is your soul mate. You know as soon as you hear the song. There is no one else in the world who fits with you as perfectly as this person. There is no anger, no fighting, and no divorce. Just the harmony of your two hearts singing forever. This is how we should fall in love.
