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?

    Yes, I think also, that this is the most romantic of all! It makes me shiver myself! Hope he finds her and that you, Sophie, keep on drawing these wonderful paintings!

    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!

    I'm actually writing a story about love at first sight and incorporating the Missed Connections plays in it. Could I ask you, Sophie Blackall, any questions?

    If yes, please email me at skhan@theticker.org?

    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.
