We dated years ago, I didn’t take it seriously. Our lives weren’t in the same place, I was looking for something different or so I thought. When we don’t chat, I miss you. I want to spend so much time with you, but I can’t.
You were there when I needed someone and helped me through a very difficult time. You don’t judge me, you listen to me. You always make me feel like everything is going to be OK. I want to share with the world how wonderful you’ve been to me, but we can’t, it’s our secret. If it wasn’t for you, I would have never made it through.
My feelings have always been the same, they never changed. I always loved you but told myself I didn’t. I denied my feelings because I was selfish, I didn’t think you were good enough.
The past is the past and we cannot change that. We can’t go back in time. You’re an awesome person, you deserve a wonderful life, a wonderful partner and no matter where were are in our lives you will always mean the world to me. —No Time Machine

“I didn’t think you were good enough”
Yeah. You deserve what you got, OP.
Concur, Dr Kitty.
It’s OK. I have since realised that you were simply a vivid hallucination. I don’t talk to my hallucinations anymore, everything is going much better now.
