Missed Connections II

A collection of poems inspired by the "Missed Connection" section on the Dallas Craigslist.

Lost Connection.

Miss you glasses girl.

We connected for a time,

but I lost you after Covid.

I would love to talk to you again

and your brunette hair.

I’m the bald guy with the beard,

you’d call me “Cowboy”.

We were in the same boat

about relationships

and life

until Covid.

It was fun between me and you.

If you see this—

and I hope to God you do—

I’d love to talk to you.

Lost connection.

Were you a couple or…

We talked over a beer

and you got silly,

but were you two a couple…?

or separate…?

Either way,

I would like to finish the conversation we had

before you had your early departure.

Lost connection.

You’re so damn cute.

I stole so many looks at you

and I was hoping I could get one back.

That face

that smile,

the way you said my name!!!

Do you remember my name?

Good connection.

Hi Maria,

I hope you’re doing well.

We met here and it was a good connection.

I hope you’re doing good

and still enjoy the moon

as it fascinates both of us.

Wish you all the best.
