I swear I've said the exact same things about a "window" of brief chance meetings I had with someone about 5 years ago. Just talking with her was totally electric, I mean, like nothing I've ever felt with anyone else I have ever known before or since. She was just so warm and radiant! She entered my life so unexpectedly -- and vanished just as suddenly -- before I could even catch a clue as to what it was all about. The memories are just as vivid as they were on the days we met, and I'm still kicking myself for not asking her out that night.

I mean, these experiences are so rare, right? From what I've read, I probably have a better chance of hitting the state lottery before I find another connection like that one, or the connection finds me.

That's kinda depressing.
