what do you do when you meet someone incredible?
someone you will never see again. maybe it's an amazingly beautiful girl. maybe you had the best dance of the night at a venue in some city on the other side of the continent. and might never get a chance to visit again. maybe it was some guy you just connected with. someone who'd be your best friend forever, if only you had more time.
what do you say? what can convey those feelings?
how do you say goodbye?
'i could have loved you.'
too cliche, maybe.
'i hope we meet again... sometime.'
'you are amazing. you made my night tonight. thank you.'
like hand scrawled messages in a long forgotten yearbook. in the long run, do they mean anything at all? 'stay cool. have a great summer.'
i don't think you can say anything. only give them a hug. squeeze extra tight for a second, pretend that you might, somewhere, sometime, meet again. and then move on with life, thankful that you even had a chance to glimpse something so beautiful and pure as what might have been.

Wow~this blog was truely amazing. Thanks for saying something that beautiful cuz. Love ya!
I sooooo know where you are coming from with this. When I was in Italy I met this Italian guy in a bank....... All we did was have maybe a 5 minute conversation and it was this weird connection.... When I was leaving he had this sad look on his face and he waved to me as I walked by the window.
Now, all I remember him as is the guy who exchanged my traveler's checks for Euros. haha! Oh boy! I could be living in a stone cottage baking bread for gosh sakes........
oh justin...
Someone had fun dancing last night :)
In a way it's a good thing. We can save our selves some unessecary pain. Pain, pain... Just be glad we only had a minute, a pleasant one.
Hey, this is pretty cool! And it makes you think...I may steal it sometime...
P.S. You always have the most interesting blogs...they're fun to read! Chao!
Use pickup lines like.
'I don't know what you think of me, but I hope it's x-rated.'
'Didn't I used to always pull on your ponytail in grammar school?'
justin when did you get so disgustingly philosophical? what happened to my friend? i mean, im not picking on you or anything, but why you gotta be so serious?
but in all honesty, i feel ya.
I've made friends by making sure I see that person again when there's a real connection that we both felt (another reason why Myspace is so great!) although it's so frustrating when you let that happen, I've totally done it
There is always going to be someone who sets the standard. Someone who makes you want that same person..but in other people, your whole entire life. The love of your life, will be bits and pieces in others. I personally, am always falling in love. Which makes me to believe I'd be the perfect "Swinger".
In any case, it's like a little flicker in the heart, huh? No answers here. Just saying, you're not alone on trying to peice together love in all it's many degrees.
