A Short and Sad Love Story
It looked to be like any other Internet connection. A smile arrived in my inbox. We exchanged a few semi-witty emails. We rolled over to chat on instant messenger. We even had a couple of phone conversations. It was our time spent on the phone, talking about family life, past dating experiences and strange objects found in our fridge that really changed things for me, though. It was there that the real romance began…
We both had busy schedules. I worked all day and she spent long hours at night in the school lab, pressing her education to the limits as she fought to find a cure for cancer. Her passion inspired me. When she spoke of it, a feeling washed over me and I began to see life as something bigger than the bubble I was living in. I saw life as more important than the sum of evenings spent out at the clubs, flirting with strangers and quaffing adult beverages. The power of working for a greater good became very real and I wanted to be a better person from just a handful of phone conversations. We agreed to meet, but then something happened. I’m not sure if she met someone or I messed up somehow, but the day before we were to finally connect, she dropped off the radar.
The series of chats we have will be hard for me to forget. It’s a love story that is sad for me to tell. Even though we never connected, the feelings were genuine and they have left their mark on my life. I’ll always remember the girl that made me want more in life than just another date…

we always remember people who inspire us. It's not just love but an obscession in wisdom! We open each other and become naked and even online it's embarassing sometimes and may be that's why she left you there havibng opened her wisdom and world to you...
I have such a person he always leaves when it's time to meet. He leaves the door opened but he's not there when I come. But he inspires me by his living and his way of thinking. With him I cannot recognize myself. Well, it's not a romance, it's teaching.

It's strange but..that's what life is!!!We all fall in love but few are the lucky ones who get to touch it......
To love and lose is a whirlpool of emotions. I have gone through it......you know after a certain point, you feel that there's no other blessing more than ever being in love...because it's a feeling which will always remain with you....so feel blessed you atleast got to experience this ecstacy!!!!
