Impractical Love
Missed Connections in Manhattan
Impractical Love
sitting here
looking out the window
I wonder if
you are laughing with friends
and family
or by yourself
I want to reach out
to you
but can find no way
you understand me
it’s as if you can read my mind
we speak without words
can you hear me now?
am I in your thoughts?
you have so much self control
and I have none
I have witnessed it
you hide your amazing heart
but I am drawn to it
hopelessly
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
The imagery of a person looking out a window is something that is often used in the more poetic missed connections. It conveys a certain sadness – less harsh than being in a prison behind bars but still being kept apart. The difference is that in this case, the separateness is self-imposed – you can choose to walk away from the window and out the door, can’t you?
