Missed Connections in Rhode Island
Corncobs and Candlewax
I know you read these for amusement like I do, so I hope this catches your attention
I wanted you to know that I truly miss you
even though we were only really buddies for a short time
I enjoyed the little text message game we used to play
and chats in the bar parking lot against my truck until three in the morning
even before we met officially, I noticed you and thought you looked like a really interesting person to talk to
so I thought it was incredibly lucky that we met that one thursday over the summer, it was the highlight of my night
the last time we saw each other, you had someone else with you
and I didn’t want to blow up your spot or make her uncomfortable
so even though you told me I was welcome to come sit, I didn’t
I guess I just wanted you to know how highly I still think of you
and that I’m sorry for any weirdness that ensued
and that every time I see a white jeep, I feel a little sad!
warm, squishy feelings

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
It’s always a little sad when you meet someone interesting and fun to be around but for whatever reason, the stars aren’t aligned for spending more time together. It seems to me that those people tend to stick in your mind a little bit longer. Could it be the shine of “what could have been” despite not fully knowing the person? In our mind we can create an entire world from the unknown – but that doesn’t mean reality would look like it.
