Dear you,
We met a few years ago on a hot summer night, and hit it off from the start. We met in a crowd but each lost our friends to hang out alone. We talked, we danced and you walked me home like a perfect gentleman. I was immediately smitten.

We hung out and I enjoyed every minute of it. I hadn’t felt a pull to someone like that before and with an intensity I haven’t felt since.

We ended too soon when I had to leave to pursue a dream. Since I returned, I tried to re-connect many times and you ignored me. Rightfully so. We didn’t part on the best terms. I was sad and drunk, and harsh words were uttered. I’m sorry.

I still think about you often, and what could have been. I think we could have been awesome. I don’t think you realized how handsome and interesting you were, but I hope you do now. I’m happily with another, and it’s a serious commitment, but I will always hold a special place for you in my heart. I will always wonder what could have been.

Take care and find happiness. —Me
