Night Walk by Thanasis Anastasiou
Summer Two Years Ago
Missed Connections from Austin
Remember that summer two years ago? It’s already been two years since I met you but I keep those few, brief moments so close to my heart that only now do I realize how long it has been. I’m sorry I let you slip so easily, I’m sorry if my seeming indifference pushed you away. My communication skills were lacking and I just couldn’t and wouldn’t express how important you became in such a short time.
I miss you coming over in the middle of the night, I miss our walks in the dark, I miss seeing the sun come up and falling asleep in your arms. I miss you.
I’ve changed since then. I think my maturity has retrograded. I’m no better at loving than I was then, except now I am older and want to- need to try again.
You are a great guy, and I hope you are happy and with someone who knows how amazing you are.
Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
Austin is our missed connections featured location today and it’s one of my favorites as it offers a wide variety of well-written, thoughtful, or unique messages. This one caught my attention as we all have a “one who got away” story in our past. Meeting the right person at the wrong time can leave us wondering for years if the relationship would have been as wonderful as our imagination would make us think. Can we go back and change the past? Maybe…
