I knew i loved you before i met you......but i'll never be with you

Remember the the Savage Garden music video "I knew I loved you before I met you" starring Kristin Dunst. The band singer sees a beautiful girl in a subway train and its love at first sight for him. In a momentary electrical blackout when they link hands in support, he envisions a future with this girl. He has never met or interacted with her, nor has he heard her voice. Yet, in his vision they are holding hands, kissing and laughing. But its not a happy ending, they break physical contact as soon as the lights come on, and she hops out of the train at the next stop and he never sees her again........

Circumstances like that happen to me too. Like the band singer, contact with the other member is momentary, it never leads to anything more. We imagine a relationship with a beautiful stranger at a random encounter but the person disappears forever. The only thing left is the beautiful memory of the encounter.

James Blunt correctly sums it up in his song "You Are Beautiful".
"You are beautiful its true.....but its time to face the truth....I will never be with you..........."
