gece geçen gemiler gibi, kısa süreli karşılaşma

two people who meet for a short time and then separate, often without getting to know each other well

:
We were like ships that pass in the night, meeting briefly at the conference and never seeing each other again.
Biz gece geçen gemiler gibiydik, konferansta kısaca tanıştık ve bir daha hiç görüşmedik.
Despite living in the same city, our schedules were so different that we were always like ships that pass in the night.
Aynı şehirde yaşamamıza rağmen, programlarımız o kadar farklıydı ki her zaman gece geçen gemiler gibiydik.
