We hadden oogcontact in de trein
vanaf station Amsterdam Centraal
naar station Breda.
Op station Breda verloren we elkaar uit het oog.
"We were next to each other on a train to Paris on 15.03. You were reading Millenium, I was reading a tedious French classic. Later, you saw me by chance in Amsterdam and went to wait for me at my work, but I did not understand it was you until after you had left. Since then, I have been hoping to find you again (I eventually figured out that you bike regularly past my work) to tell you that I am sorry and that I was really moved and flattered by what you did, but never got the luck. I am leaving the country now so just throwing this bottle into the sea."
