Missed Connections
the night we met we ran across campus together with a boy who would become my ex boyfriend, looking for adventure. i don't talk to him much anymore but we haven't stopped searching since. you're not mine, but when we hold hands on the train or you tuck your body close into mine, i wish you were. 

we shared a toyota minvan from bushick to bedstuy; i sat behind you. we talked about gaspar noé - you said irreversible was your favorite, and i said mine was love. then we were at my house. i never got your number. i think we should see a movie sometime. 
angelfoodpersonals@gmail.com

We met at the farmhouse last June. I followed my nose into the kitchen to find you simmering wildflowers from the garden in cream and sugar. Panna cotta. I cupped my hands and you ladled me a spoonful from a cooled batch. I licked my palms while you watched.

Looking for A Rose Girl
- Old Friend, London Underground - Central Line
You were sat a few seats down from me on the tube. You smelled like a rose. I turned to you, and realised it wasn't you. Someone else. We were friends. Remember? I wore lavender perfume. You wore rose. I switched to vanilla. You might not recognise me. What perfume do you wear now? Would I recognise you? Could I pin you down in a room? With my eyes closed?
olivialinrogers@gmail.com


At a Julliard reading, you sat next to me and told me I looked like someone you know, adding, "Don't worry, he's really sexy." I blushed, and you turned  back to your friend. The play began. We laughed together for 90 minutes. When can I see you again?

We've past each other now. The moment our eyes met, lasted a little more than a year. I hope one day I can finally stop looking back over my shoulder, hoping to catch another glimpse of a person who is not there.
