hi, my memory is really bad on this but this is a short story i read about 10 years ago, or so, and it's about a man in a city subway (i think nyc) and he sees this woman sitting opposite to him and he falls in love with her but has no courage to speak with her. the story goes on talking about what he imagines about her all while sitting on the train....and then all i remember next is that the story ends and they are still on the same subway ride years later and he still hasnt had courage to talk to her but now they are old and grey. i dont remember much else, so if anyone can remember the story and knows who wrote it, please let me know...id love to read it again. it's a sad story, but all too real.

Sounds like Missed Connection....the full story is at the bottom of the article here: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertain...
Thank you Marisa - yes that’s the story! I had forgotten it was an anonymously written story on Craigslist’s missed connection page. Thank you for helping me find such an obscure little gem. 🙏
