Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
We start our Friday with an emotional missive from Brooklyn. I think we’ve all been in this place at one time or another – knowing that someone isn’t really the right person for us but desperately missing their attractive qualities and the fun times spent together. Does that missing ever go away? Maybe it fades… maybe it recedes into the background of a busy life… maybe it doesn’t.
I Miss Everything About You
Missed Connections in Brooklyn, NY
I miss the night we slid on the sidewalk ice and raced back and forth, tumbling into the snow banks, laughing hard with the cold wind socking our stomachs.
I miss the way you would look, sleepy-eyed and innocent, when you would come into our office to ask if I was coming to bed yet.
I miss the way you used to look at me and I miss the moments where I noticed that you weren’t looking at me the same anymore. I wish I could go back to that exact time and dig to the very matter of what was between you and I. Because it was not You or I.
I miss the way you would grab my hips when I was on top of you, my fingers caught in your tangled hair, kissing so hard our teeth would almost knock, straight eye contact until it was all just too much.
I miss the conversation where you told me I was the most gorgeous woman you’ve ever been with but we were so wrong, so wrong for each other. I only miss that moment because it’s simple to think about superficial matters.
I miss our dinners, dates, picnics. I miss shopping for books with you. I miss seeing music with you.
I know you’re happy now and well, I am too.
But I do miss everything about you.
