long time ago

i was talking with a friend this morning and was reminded of something that happened in my life a long time ago. so naturally i felt compelled to write about it. simply because i recognise it as one of the most unique and meaningful experiences of my life. so here goes. you know when you meet somebody and you know right from the start that this will be a significant relationship or friendship. this is what this story is about. about a person that had such a profound impact on my life without even knowing about it. probably why this person was not able to screw it up. anyways the reason for it having such an impact on me was the connection that was there right from the word go. even though the basis of our way of thinking and living was profoundly different. we had other interests that was spot on. we talked for hours about music. history. politics. cultural differences and how people react to it. and of course we both had a passion for wine and food. we spend our days lazing around the thoughts that swirled around in our heads. it was weird to find somebody that had the same mindset and i found that it was highly stimulating for my creative juices. i do not know how it affect the other though. not that i matters much. we hung out for a couple of months before our paths were split abruptly. no details needed at this stage. but i remember the time as if it was yesterday. it was as if a hole was cut in me. never the less. the impact was lasting and i think back on those months fondly. i do not know where this person is at the moment. i wonder if i should try to find this person. but the fear is always there that it would burst the bubble and shatter the image that i carry around with me every day.
