"Maybe you were supposed to forget your responsibilities for a second. Maybe you were supposed to hold a conversation with that stranger just a little longer. But if something was supposed to happen between the two of you, you will never know. Hundreds of missed connections a day. It's almost insignificant. And, I know that heartbreak is sad. When an overwhelming love has to come to an end,
it's tragic. But there's something just as tragic about a love that never has the chance to begin." -Unknown
