بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
"You know not, yet, the sort of love that
strikes like a lightning bolt; that clutches
hold of you by the heart, as irrevocably
as death; that becomes the lodestar by
which you steer the rest of your life. I
would not wish such a love on anyone,
man or woman, for it can make your life
a paradise, or it can destroy you utterly.
But it is in the nature of your kin to love
this way."

Hmm, lodestar....familiar concept methinks. Can't say if it was like lightning at first, maybe more a wave building up, but the rest fits historical record pretty well.
