so close yet so far apart

i was just cruising along like any other day.
trucking across the lawn..when BAM!
i stopped in my tracks.
what stopped me was the cover of the magazine i was about to deliver.
the mag was Fortune.
on the cover was a picture of two women.
the text read " The 50 most powerful women in America".
why did that stop me in my tracks?
because one of the woman on the cover, now a president of one of the largest companies in the US, back in another lifetime was just an anonymous gal bellied up to an irish bar across from East High School when i happened to order a drink.
we made small talk, had a few chuckles and by evening's end she and her pal and i exchanged phone numbers.
we actually got together about 4 or 5 times.
then we lost track of each other.
now i know why.
she had some serious "stuff" to do.
doubt she would even remember "our time together".
but i sure do.
