Musical Missed Connections

Radiant Girl w/Cool Shoes
Missed Connections in Boston

You responded well to the compliment.
Things are so bad out there, you don’t dare say anything, but you came onto the bus and were obviously a happy person (and good-looking).
You truly were the only sunshine on this day when everyone seemed to have even more attitude than usual.
You said it was the weather, but I argued and asked what was people’s problem the rest of the time, then?
You smiled and agreed, and just kept beaming.

You beautiful thing – you are what life is really all about.
Well, don’t ever change, honey.
I hope I’ll see you again – I never ride the buses – maybe twice a month tops.
Thank you, thank you.
Those really were cool shoes – I never say anything like that.
But you’d wear anything and make it look good, because you just shine.

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:

Accepting a compliment can be difficult, and even more so when the words come from an absolute stranger. But our poet saw a grey sky turn blue when their words were responded to with a smile. Is it really that simple to make a difference? Saying a kind word and receiving one in return? Maybe…  Speaking of compliments, I stumbled across this video while searching for the song that was originally scheduled as the soundtrack. I have no idea who this person is, but I like their song! Perhaps my words will make them smile too.
