Musical Missed Connections
You Know That Place Between Awake and Asleep?
Missed Connections in City of San Francisco
That’s where I’ll always love you, Peter Pan. That’s where I’ll be waiting.
But Peter Pan was never really into Tinker Bell, was he? I read the book or watch the movies and think to myself “Honey, he doesn’t want you! Go find a man-fairy that’ll treat you right.”
I get it now, Tinker Bell. Your heart and your head don’t always get along.
I have to move on and really for real have peace with fact that nothing will probably ever happen between us. Be ok with knowing you just never wanted, and that every time I thought of you it was an opportunity to pray for you. That’s not so bad. I was so drawn to you….I’ve never really felt a “connection” like that before, so I wanted to believe it was mutual. But I don’t really have any good reason.
Being a smart, wise woman I will take my heart, look forward, and walk on.
But being just a bit of a silly fool, I will put this one little hope in a box and leave it on my shelf before I do. That one day, just maybe, you’ll come back for me. And ask me all those things I tried not to hope you would.
For reason I’m not really sure of, I care about you. I feel for you, and I want you to be just the happiest little bastard that ever walked this earth. When I looked at you I was moved. They few times we touched I wished I could pour affectation into your very soul. I wanted you to pursue me. You didn’t.
Bye
And please take good care of yourself. You’re precious.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Amy Winehouse really did have a crazy, intense voice, didn’t she? Is that the sound of Peter Pan or of old hopes locked in boxes and hidden away? Regardless of the beauty created, neither is an ideal place – and I’m sure our lovelorn San Franciscan would agree. As far as Amy was concerned, perhaps Tinker Bell caught in a jar would be the better parallel.
