Sometimes I Wonder
Missed Connections in Ithaca
Today I saw someone from behind that I thought was you.
I walked over but it was someone else.
I was disappointed and relieved at the same time.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
I think most of us have experienced this to some degree. What is a word that defines the emotion of disappointment and relief combined into one? I’m drawing a blank on that… Both focus on a response to something that was expected to happen but didn’t. We always get hung up on those expectations, don’t we?
