We Passed Each Other When the Sky Was Pink

Tuesday, March 8, 2011
-m4w - 29

I saw you for maybe a second or two.
I've read missed-connections before and wondered why people just didn't say something then and there. Now I understand... perhaps it's because the moment is extraordinary; containing a fullness of its own... and the thought that this person across from me is not a part of my everyday life, and at any second will disappear, didn't even occur to me... it seemed that we were in whatever it was together, and that sort of connection rarely, if ever, happens between strangers, so my mind was a little slow on registering that there would be no "some other time" if neither of us asked for the others phone or email.

Now, hours later, the ripples created by those few tender seconds still gently rock something within me...
and I become a missed-connections poster.

Would you be interested in having tea or going on a ride?

  26. But how will he EVER find her? There's not ONE detail in the description that would signal to the girl that he's talking about HER! What if it was me? But I wouldn't know, would I? Those romantic men need to take another English class and be more specific! :)

    Beautiful art work, though!

  39. For Diablo 3 players, one of the most attractive things for the game in recent days must be the patch 1.0.7 on PTR server. Although it is just available on PTR, you can enjoy these great changes before final Diablo 3 patch comes out. Compared with playing in PvE, playing in PvP mode really needs amounts of Diablo 3 gold as well as Diablo 3 items as you may be greatly damaged even killed with PvE items for PvP mode. Need to buy Diablo 3 gold or Diablo 3 items online? CheapDiablo will never let you down. Today I would share a post about Barbarian items stats in patch 1.0.7 PvP which is tested in PTR server!

  51. In the grand pattern of things you get a B- with regard to effort. Where exactly you actually misplaced everybody was first on the particulars. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more correct right here. Having said that, let me inform you what exactly did give good results. The writing is incredibly convincing which is probably the reason why I am making an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, whilst I can certainly notice the leaps in logic you make, I am not sure of how you appear to unite the points which in turn make the actual final result. For right now I will yield to your issue but trust in the near future you actually link your facts better.
