To: everyone
sometimes people are only in your life for a little bit. sometimes a minute. sometimes a day. sometimes four years.
rarely are they in your life for longer.
rarely are they in your life for longer.
most of the time we have the chance to exchange phone numbers but not our hearts. we just say, here, here have my email. email me. but we don’t really talk.
it’s not a flaw in our design, we were only made to be intimate with a select few. but sometimes i wonder- if we had met under different circumstances. if i was prettier or you were bolder. if we shared parents or a love for spicy food. whatever. maybe we could have been more than just acquaintances. more than just a friendly face.
maybe if we had moved to the same town or talked with voices on the phone instead of through our fingers over text.
maybe it was just a moment that we shared. but it was beautiful. and the main thing is. it was something we both shared. so even if our paths forked right at that very moment for only that short time, we were, perhaps for a minute, sharing one heart.
and i hope, if anything came out of it, you were as blessed as i was for meeting you or saying hi in the halls at school or nodding in recognition as we drove by or smiling at each other in target.
it was nice to share something with you, fellow human.
sincerely, the rest of us.
