A man walking down a city street meets a woman, both are amazed and delighted to discover they are telepaths. Minds touch, thrilled to know they aren't alone, discovering all the great things about each other, followed by the secret, hidden, not so nice things, the insecurities, petty moves, jealousies, hates... Disgusted, they break away swearing to forever avoid each other.
The whole encounter over in an instant.
Help?

Sorry I'm answering this so late - it sounds like Journey's End, by Poul Andersorn.
