Small things, mostly

A strong miss (China)

Have you been in a situation when all you had to do was to say what you really felt at that moment. But you didn’t. And if you had, the entire history of the universe would have been different.

That was how it was with cute Li Yun by the lake. You were talking about the caravans on the ancient Silk Road. Without any warning, cute Li Yun turned to you and said she will miss you. You could have replied likewise.

But all you could think about was leaving, with no plans for an immediate return, and cute Li Yun reminiscing about you by the lake.

The title comes from the relative levels of “missing” that cute Li Yun feels. There is “some miss”, then there is a “strong miss”. I added “crying miss” to her list.
