Missed Connections in Salt Lake City
Once upon a time there was this incredible girl who bought this boy snow boots, for many reasons. First and foremost she wanted his feet to be warm, but her second reason was slightly selfish in it’s own cute way. She wanted him to go to the dog park with her in the winter. So he did, and he continued to go no matter the weather and sometimes even without her because she was so busy and he wanted her to have happy animals. Fast forward to present day… these boots still exist and keep that boy’s feet warm, but that’s the only part of him that stays warm because now he doesn’t go to the dog park with her or even without her but for her. He has essentially been left out in the cold to freeze, all except for his feet. Now feeling numb and cold can be helpful in some situations but this boy has felt that before and it didn’t serve him well. Needless to say, he misses her warmth everyday, and would give the world to have it back in his heart.
There isn’t a single second of the day I don’t think about you.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Being caught in the deep freeze is no fun – even if your feet are warm. You can do all that you think is good and right (Solo trips to the dog park? Big gold star!) but that doesn’t guarantee tropical breezes and sandy beaches. So sorry, Salt Lake City poet, but I think you need to walk those warm boots over to a new dog park and find some new two, and four-legged, friends.
