"You Are Gorgeous."

What makes a person attractive?
Is it their hair or their eyes?
Or how they carry themselves in situations?

What makes a person look at another person and think to themselves, "wow."
What triggers that reaction of thinking about the future?
And how do you know if you met the person you were supposed to be with?

Do you only have one "soulmate"?
If thats true, what happens if something terrible happens before you meet?
Or what if forces beyond your control get in the way of "what could have been"?

And then of course, there is the whole willingness to even try.
But thats a whole other set of questions.

But taking into consideration all my questions...
Hypothetically speaking:
I happen to one day be walking out of the store and I bump into someone.
We exchange the normal awkward apologies.
Humans are very intimate creatures, so touching is seen as very special.
Thats why if you almost run into someone, you both back quickly away and stutter apologies.
Not because you might run into them, but you might touch them and that is invading the person space of someone, which also leads to the fact that people are very considerate (most of the time) about personal space of others.
Anyway, so what happens now?
You walk away.
And thats it.
But... how do you know that you didn't just run into your future spouse or possible greatest friend for life?
Chance meetings happen like this all the time and people ignore them.
All just because it happened in a split second and with the knowledge that you will never see this person again.

But what if you do see this person again?

Optimism will be the death of me.
And I am actually alright with that.
