“But before you die, its great if you can meet the other person who you’re supposed to share this mystery with. And you know when that happens, I think. Because you often meet that person at a particular time in your life, sometimes when you’re young and poor. Y’know, when you’ve been living in a room, but you’re both living in rooms where you have all your shit cos you’re poor.
And it’s lit by candlelight, and you climb the stairs to that person’s room - they’ve been to your room, now you’re going to theirs - it’s serious. And you’re standing opposite that person, and there is a moment when you realise you’re not looking at an expression of fleeting lust, or some sort of passing of the time in the surrounding befuddlement. Where you know each other and you know you want to be together. And you realise it, and it’s an amazing moment.
The other person is actually taking their clothes off in front of you, smiling from the very middle of themselves at you, saying ‘I want to be with you’. And you’re looking at them with their bare shoulders shimmering in this rosiette candlelight, and you realise this is the person for you.”
- Dylan Moran
