So it's a coincidence. just like you said. two rich parents with two rich kids at the same school. they're both killed in accidents. why are you so interested?"

John you say you met in an elevator. was the elevator going up at the time, or down? this is very important, for going down in an elevator one always has that sinking feeling and for all i know you may have this confused with love. if you were going up, it is clearly a case of love at first sight.

What do you think deja vu is for?". face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. but what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. trust your instincts. do the unexpected. find the others.

Some loves are like that. your heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. you throw your pride out to keep it afloat, & your self-respect & independence. after a while you start throwing people out - friends, everyone you know. & it's still not enough. the lifeboat is still sinking, & you know it's going to take you down with it. i've seen that happen to a lot of people. i think that's why i'm sick of love. - karla
