Love is All Around, yet It’s no Fairy Tale
Posted by Nathanael on June 19, 2011
On November 4, 2007, Patrick Moberg took a late subway from Union Square, New York.
On the train, he encountered a girl, for whom he felt “this is the girl of my dream.”
As the man tried to gathering courage to greet the girl, he lost her in the crowd of man.
No chance to know more about her.
Yet, he kept thinking of her, and decided to make an extraordinary step to find her.
He drew a description of her
disseminated it to friends, colleagues, and even built a website http://www.nygirlofmydreams.com/.
All to find her.
Suddenly, in such a strange mechanism, a friend of the girl found the website.
And after some time, the man met again with the woman, and knew her name: Camille Hayton
So ended the story of the track down, and began the story of the relationship.
They dated for about two months, until Camille decided, “I think the situation was so intense that it bonded us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was”.
And that’s how they broke up and became friends rather than lovers.
Love is all around, even in a subway, but like Patrick put it, “unlike all the romantic comedies and bad pop songs, you’ll have to make up your own ending for this”, it is no fairy tale and sometimes things don’t end up in the way we want.
