It's just so crazy it might work
Do you ever suddenly feel a different vibe with someone you've been around quite a bit before?
I do. I work with him. I wasn't surprised that as PCN drew on, we recognized each other. But I just didn't feel that different vibe. I don't know how to describe it. It's not necessarily a desire to want to be more than friends, but just some new level of some kind of intimacy (cast aside the connotation of that term). The way I feel around this person is more invitingly personal. That as cryptic as he may appear to be, I'm just like him. Just as conscientious about some things, perhaps even as exact as always waiting around for the perfect receptacle on which to dispose our finished plastic or glass bottles. Maybe the fact that he has come off as cryptic is what makes this new feeling all the more noticeable. It might be that feeling of looking in the mirror for the first time in a while.
Now I know that what many would like to happen if they were reading this like a story or watching it from the sidelines most likely hasn't and will not happen. But out of my own desire to write a feeling like this down, I will take it and run away with it like any fiction writer would. Which gives me the basis for the title. I imagine, that if people thought it would be fun to set up two people they know with each other, it could be a potential huge mess. But at the same time, "it's so crazy it just might work." I miss comedy stories like that, where their friends give them an extra push to approach someone or just the push alone suddenly makes a person look at someone they've never really thought too much about in a romantic light.
Do I want this closeness? Will this be the only time I notice something like this? Can I afford to ignore it?
