DID I JUST MISS “THE LOVE OF MY LIFE”, THE ONCE IN A LIFE TIME - CONNECTION ????

DID I JUST MISS “THE LOVE OF MY LIFE”, THE ONCE IN A LIFE TIME - CONNECTION ????

Our eyes met across the aisle  - THE CONNECTION. 

Eyes Locked in what feels even now (after about 12 years) - THE CONNECTION.

The Eye lock for a few seconds, followed by the instant synchronized smile as our eyes lite up and sparks flew  - THE CONNECTION.

Both a bit taken aback, the awkward shyness, each with eyes glowing in excitement, wanting to impress, help and please the other  - THE CONNECTION.

The connection was obviously special and natural, multiple times, paths crossed, on a 12 hrs flight across oceans and continents  - THE CONNECTION.

The frequent blushing as paths crossed, the uneasiness of suppressed excited energies, brain freeze due to breaks applied to the gust of love energy trying to reach out, touch and connect  - THE CONNECTION.

The awkward few tango of words as cultures and accents collided, but the eyes locked into each other  - THE CONNECTION.

The eye lock and smile between two strangers, with the others in the group looking on with confused expression  - THE CONNECTION.

Her kindness overflowing and revealing in her actions, towards an unaccompanied kid on the flight, shooting up my heart with more love  - THE CONNECTION.

12 hrs of crisscrossing paths, ending with me left with a life time of regret, for not having the courage and stepping up - THE CONNECTION.

Qatar Airways, JFK to DOH on my way to CCJ on the fateful day of July-15-2012 .....  THE ONCE IN A LIFE TIME - CONNECTION !!!!!

She : Beautiful, lovely and KIND Air-hostess of Qatar Airways, South African origin.

Me : Passenger on the Qatar Airways Flight from JFK to DOH on my way to CCJ, because my mom was hospitalized. Filled with guilt for having feelings churning in me in a time of family crises.
