Once Upon a Blizzard
Missed Connections in Chicago
We slept together for the first time.
And things got complicated (obviously). You became hot and cold.
And I was without attention for awhile (which I missed).
And I grew confused.
A few months, a trip overseas and suddenly, I realized I have feelings for you.
But, (and there’s always a but) it didn’t come without some hesitation.
Which meant that the last we saw each other, I was quick to push you away (bad idea).
I was scared and now I feel lonely, sad that we’re not even friends anymore, and you’re moving away (sigh).
If you feel the same (which I hope you do) and it’s not too late to have a happy ending to this tale, I would like to hear from you (carrier pigeon would be awesome but not necessary), and make this work.

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
“…She’s twenty years of strangers looking into each other’s eyes…” I really love this Regina Spektor song – there’s something haunting, chilling, yet deeply sensual about it – and it’s not unlike snowstorm induced romances. How easy it can be to fall and tumble about as the world becomes quiet and blanketed in white and how difficult it can be to sustain those emotions when clear skies return.
