Back in the mid 1990's, I used to frequent a coffee shop and there was a gal that worked there, she was barely 19, I was 29 . One day, I walked in and she gave me this stare that was Earth shattering. I paid no mind, I was preoccupied with some difficulties that I was going thru . Everyone was telling me that she was crazy about me, but I was in a dark place at that time .... or as my Mother's people would say, " My Heart was in Winter ". Any way, she seen me at a local Walmart .... mind you. I've been married for the last 27, coming this July 26th. She's a beautiful Mexican American woman that looks like Jennifer Connelly. I gave her small talk, but she had probing questions and that look .
She's now a Physicist and I was a Blue Collar / Musician ( still am ) .... would never have worked . Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Sometimes missed opportunities work out for the best. But we don't know that they do because what might have been didn't happen. Had a team mom for a little league team I coached years ago who I would have loved to get to know carnally. Got as far as kissing and petting but no more than that. Could have fucked up my life had I fucked her. But I'll never know since I didn't.
