When I met you I didn’t think much of it. I saw you walk out of the doors to the event we were at and the only thing that came through my mind was ‘wow’. Later that evening you and I had our first conversation started over a lighter. At the time I wouldn’t have thought that you and I were going to have many conversations over the next few months, but we did. I really felt that I could share anything and that I could listen to you say anything.
What I wasn’t expecting was to actually develop feelings for you. It was silly for me to think that anything could have happened under our circumstances. It’s also silly to think that things went the way they did.
I still think of you as that one that got away. —Your Friend

I read this and my heart jumped into my throat. My body began to tingle. I sat paralyzed as memories flooded my head. How bizarre it is that I could have written this post. But, I still have hope. Hope that as circumstances change I will no longer be feeling empty and broken hearted, but full of joy because he is back in my life. Am I a fool for feeling this way? Perhaps, but I’m not ready to let go so only time will give me that answer. My heart is not prepared to accept him as the one that got away.
