How many times did we pass each other before we met? If only I’d known…. I would have searched for you endlessly. If only I’d found you before it was already too late.

About This Quote

The concept of passing each other is related to the idea of being in the same place at the same time. When two people are passing each other, they are unaware that they are actually meeting. This can also be referred to as "standing still" or "invisible love". This quote is an example of this phenomenon.

The speaker is sharing his regret that he did not try to make contact with the woman he was passing on the street, but for some reason did not. He realizes now that if only he had met her sooner, he would have done everything possible to find her and bring her into his life.
