have you ever felt a connection with someone you dont even know? Or maybe you have met them once before, but every time you see them you feel like you know them much better than you actually do? Like maybe the stranger isnt a stranger at all. There is a girl I see almost everyday. we have never spoken, but I know that as i walk to class, across the quad, or through beaman we will make eye contact, smile at each other and nod. I dont know her name, but she is a familiar constant in my life. Part of me feels like one day i should say hello, sit down with her over a cup of coffee and get to know her, like we could be friends or something...
but i know i never will
because part of me likes not knowing anything about her. i kind of like our little ritual of smiling and nodding, its almost symbolic of hope and mystery that one most often finds in nature, not in the midst of so much concrete.
