It's Like I Can Still Feel You

I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.  Nothing is random and everyone you meet at a certain time and place means something.  You may never know why but looking back there are certain people--regardless of the amount of time you know them--change or move your life along.  Encounters--no matter how brief--do change or simply nudge the direction of your life.

I was at a tattoo parlor today.  I was talking to a guy when I--seriously--got a chill.  I shivered all over and even the guy asked me if I was ok.  When I looked up to tell him that I was fine, I noticed coming in from the side door of the parlor--the EX.  I'm almost positive that he saw me but there's a chance that he may not have as there was a big post right beside me and in between us (metaphor of our relationship perhaps?)  I was thinking---why is he at a tattoo parlor at around 1pm?  Then I noticed he was with his boss and that they were talking to this young kid who was getting a tattoo on his calf.  Neither one was a good thing. 

I left the tattoo place and went to my car and noticed that he and the boss had parked directly behind me and that OUR satellite radio was attached to the windshield of the boss' company van.  A pang hit my heart at that moment and left me thinking---what does this all mean?
