Linking lives

Once in awhile you meet someone with a connection so deep so disturbing that you just have to blink a couple of times to see if it would disappear. And if they still don’t vanish into thin air, something is up. And you are put at the crossroads wondering if it’s worth pursuing or better letting go. Connections don’t come easy. Lives don’t link easy. People come and go. And few leave some impact if any at all. Yet, when there is someone that gives you that small jumpstart in the heart, just hang on. You’re in for a ride! The butterflies in your stomach are finally up from their slumber. And you feel like a child learning how to drink water from a cup without spilling all over. And because everything suddenly feels so right, you know deep down that something could be very wrong. Because things can’t be so great, so the cynic says. Every up has a down. Every rise has a fall. Every dawn has a gloomy side. And behind every truth, there is a need to rectify a lie. And so, sometimes, you cut your losses. Set free the horses. Let things off to run their course. And just by doing that, just by listening to your instincts instead of your heart, you find that connections can sometimes be false. Dialed to the wrong number.
