We haven’t spoken in a long time. Maybe months or a year. And the last time I tried to contact you I got no response. I actually don’t think you were even interested in being more than friends with me but I always had a huge crush on you. Anyway, I saw you last night in a store and it made me think of you. Maybe you saw me too but never gave it a second thought. I just wish things were different… —Regretful
