It's funny how love lingers where you wouldn't expect it. All the people in your life that you've loved and lost will never leave you. It happens in places you wouldn't expect, about people you wouldn't expect, and the feelings you get will sweep you off your feet every time.
The passions of the people you love rub off on you. That which are your friends' and lovers' passions soon become a your own in little ways. Whether or not ethier party is aware of the transaction it happens, and it's unavoidable if you care for each other at all. It's two people intertwining, profoundly effecting each other's personality and reality, and it's something melancholy and beautiful. It's the reason you reminice when you see a green scarf and you remember your friend who loved his green car. It's the reason you can never buy Arizona Blueberry White Tea because a girl you loved and had a tough break-up with drank it every day. These are the signs that there are people in your life that you appreciate, and not only should never forget, but can't ever forget. It's their little way of grabbing you by the lungs and saying, "Hey, I'm part of your life and don't you try and deny it."
I hope people don't try and deny it, and that when those things happen you call the person you thought of and say, "Hey, something reminded me of you today, just thought you'd like to know."

I don't know too much I can really say to this, other than I completely understand, and wholeheartedly agree.
And maybe that I also wish people wouldn't ignore it, and that the only reason some of us might brush it off is because we know the other person is one of those that don't appreciate it.
This is outstanding. Can we please, please, please please write a book together?
Hi, I don't believe you know me, or that I really know you; Oh well.
Writing able to verbalize experiences I have, that sometimes are even denied and emotional explanation, is so rare. When I happen upon, it hits hard. Thank you very much for writing this.
Association after association after association.
