From Anchorage to Zebulon: In Search of Missed Connections

Lovelorn Poet in Athens, GA: Hipster Beauty With Menthols

by

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

I’ve been following the Athens MC since last summer and some of my favorite messages come from this source. Coupling a rich arts and music scene with the University of Georgia results in an abundance of posts for the tragically hip and beautiful. Today Lovelorn Poets features a sampling of what you’ll find there.

Hipster Beauty With Menthols

You leave me in a continual state of agony with your vampish eyes and seductive mannerisms.
Also, your new change in hairstyle/colour gets me hot and flustered beyond words.
In the few hours I am able to sleep
(kept awake by your perfect image),
I have dreams of us looting Goodwill and Agora by day, drinking away the night at Caledonia.
You know who you are,
fair apple of my eye;
come to me.

Missed Connection in Athens, GA: You Made Breathing Seem Magical

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:

I’ve been following the Athens MC since last summer and some of my favorite messages come from this source. In recent months the feed has become a bit generic and dull but I’m hoping that with the return of spring weather folks will break out of hibernation and get their magic working again. Today Lovelorn Poets features a sampling of what you’ll find there.

You Made Breathing Seem Magical

Its been a really long time since I’ve seen you.
I still think of you from time to time.
I wonder how things would be if things worked out differently.
Everything was just too perfect. I couldn’t have met the perfect boy.
Every time I see a bicycle whizz by, I imagine and hope it’s you.
Maybe just to know you’re alive. Of course you are. I’m so silly.

Missed Connection in Athens, GA: Just So Everybody Knows…

JUST SO EVERYBODY KNOWS…

I work in retail, and if you are posting a missed connection about a cashier that offered you a credit card or asked for your Kroger Plus Card or Best Buy Reward Zone Card, and told you to have a good day, it’s not because it was love at first sight, it was because THAT IS OUR JOB. That is what we get paid to do. We see hundreds of people every day, and ask for their miscellaneous cards, write our names on receipts so you’ll fill out a survey and score us some brownie points with the boss. There is no way we would remember a random person who received the same level of service we offer everyone. We say that stuff to every person who comes through our register. If we wanted to ask you on a date, we would have. Simple as that. Now, I’m not trying to burst anyone’s bubble or say missed connections are dumb, because obviously I’m on here and I post them all the time, when the connection opportunity was truly missed, but I think I speak for a few people when I say, we’re just doing our job, and we’re most likely not in love with you.

Notes from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: She’s not in love with you. Thank you very much for shopping and have a great day.

Missed Connection in Athens, GA: You Took My Banjo Apart And Then Left (Asheville, NC)

You Took My Banjo Apart And Then Left (Ashevegas)

You took my banjo apart.
We were going to make an electric banjo out of a cigar box.
Then you got married and moved to Athens.
COME BACK, BISCUIT!

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – the Asheville and Athens MCs are two of my favorites and this message is a clear illustration why. I’ve also been waiting for just the right moment to use the Austin Lounge Lizards for a soundtrack, and this one couldn’t be a better match.

This is my last stand.

I want you to know this:
I fell in love with you.
I fell down the Mariana Trench with you.
does your heart still skip a beat when you hear my name;
just like mine does when I hear yours?
In my dreams I can still touch you, smell you, and hold you.
I can still make your knees buckles with my kisses.
and you still can look at me.

I truly wish I could fix everything with just a snap of my finger…
reverse the clock. Do things differently.
But I can’t
and time is the only thing that could ever mend this mess.

I hope I can hear you say someday…
when you are sitting alone in a bar…
with a drink in one hand, a book in the other…
“You know I still love you, right?”
to which I will reply,
“Yes, dear”
and I will take the seat next to you
and get lost in your burnt siennas all over again

Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder: The Athens MC has been quiet lately but this is a poem I discovered earlier in the winter.  With it being the tortuous week of Valentine’s it seemed like a good time to publish it. I’m sure our Athenian poet isn’t the only one with thoughts such as this right now…
