You can meet people who could be good for you, but it may be a matter of too early. It’s like how a mother knows she has to let go of her children and hope they will come back to her on their own. Sometimes you realize that where a person is in life, there’s something he needs to do, to find in the world and of himself before there’s any chance he can be with you. Sometimes it’s something you have to do; you aren’t ready as the person you will soon become. Sometimes, you meet someone very young and you know he needs to fall in love, risk his feelings on the high seas, have his heart broken, know a photo album of women who intrigue him in a thousand different ways and almost make him happy before he can be the man you need him to be. Sometimes you meet someone and think, maybe it will be you who shows up like a ghost out of the blue, when I’m 83, and dreaming of my deathbed.
