Bookstore Missed Connection: A Love Story

A missed connection at Brooklyn bookstore WORD has been posted on Craigslist, and it’s pretty much the most romantic thing we’ve ever read.

Prepare yourself – your heart is about to melt.

‘We spotted each other at WORD. I don’t think you followed me but we ended up in the park afterward. You sat next to me on a bench as the sun was beginning to set. You were reading Willa Cather and I was reading Edward St. Aubyn.

Our knees touched once and then 5 minutes later touched again and quietly stayed that way. It was the most romantic thing I’d ever felt. I knew we were both too shy to ever say anything to one another and I regret it badly now. I kept straining my eyes to the right side of my head to see if you were doing the same to the left.

When my friend I was meeting for dinner found me at the bench I died because I knew I couldn’t work myself up to tell you how much I’d love a million more days in the park like that one with you. I came back an hour later but you were gone. Find me. Please.’

I know, right – amazing. Once you’re done crying, head over to BuzzFeed to check out the full story.
