“there are people we meet in life who miss being important
to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or different emotional frame of mind and
we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenge or
invitation. but as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent or content and
they are not. whatever they are,
we are not and vice versa. two trains going in different directions that pass for
a few powerful moments at full speed, blasting noise and wind but then they are
gone. whatever serious chemistry might have been possible, isn’t.”
