Do you have experiences like you know someone for a certain period of time but you never really talked to them? You might run into them often in the building or on the lunch break around the workplace, you can always recognize them when you see their faces, but you have absolutely no idea neither the names nor departments they belong to.
Today I saw this person in my former firm again, he's still the way as I remembered - tall, wearing jeans and hoodies and sneakers, with the same short haircut last time I saw him which was a year ago. He didn't see me 'cause I was in the car about leaving for a conference in NTU, nevertheless it was actually a lovely surprise to see him again, it reminds me how funny I was to secretly imagine what's he like and always felt nervous when we had eye contacts accidentally, I'd pretend nothing happened and just look away.
I have always been curious about this guy but never had a chance to get to know him. Everytime when I thought of it there's a movie quote crosses my mind -
"Sometimes when you see someone from afar...you develop a fantasy. Then when you see them up close, nine times out of ten, you wish you hadn't."
Maybe it's for the best leaving it this way, I guess.
