We were 16 then. Had been friends for a couple of years, though I think I always loved you since I met you. One night, you told me I was pretty in the bar, and then you came home, to sleep on my bed while I slept on the floor. You said there was plenty of room in the (single) bed, and to come and sleep next to you, but I said no, because I had a boyfriend and I hadn't shaved my legs anyway.
We lost touch. I don't think you ever liked me as much as I liked you anyway. But I think about you every single day. I wonder what it would be like if we met, by accident, on the subway. Would we swap numbers? Would you recognise me? For that matter, would I recognise you?
You said that I put you on a pedestal but I didn't. Even though nothing ever happened, you are the first person I truly loved. And I still do.
I think about what you might be doing. Are you married? Do you have children? Will we meet again?
Man, I guess everyone has a story like that. You will drive yourself insane unless you move on. Move on.

Posted by: at January 1, 2006 8:05 PMMany of us have wished for a second chance, and sadly that is never going to come.
I am 62 years old, and I fell in love with a man in my 30's, and it didn't work out.
For years I thought of him...hoping he'd come back, miss me, etc....but he moved on, had children, and never tried to contact me again.
Many nights I prayed he'd come back to me, but it was not meant to be.
These people are right....you will drive yourself crazy if you don't move on.
Know what's really sad? During my younger years (after I broke up with him), men would ask me out, and I'd turn them down. I am now childless and lonely.....and that's not a fate I'd wish on anyone!
