In love with an idea

I have been in love with a lot of ideas. Now I have a real person who pretty much blows all my idea lovers out of the water. But there is one idea who has always stuck in my mind. I met him a long time ago and unfortunately passed up an opportunity to know if he was the real deal or if I only loved the idea. But I suppose you can't change the past, you can only try to stalk those you lost through facebook (haha that's mostly a joke).
