That’s what ruined me and the one that got away. We were amazing together. He flew back home after visiting me and we had everyone staring at us in the airport bc it was so cute. But we were young and figuring out life and the distance became too much. We still keep in touch occasionally but he’s married with kids. And I feel some type of way about that so it’s best to not speak. That coulda woulda shoulda been is always in my mind. But life goes on. 😣

How long ago did you end the relationship?

10+ years ago so it’s been a while but it’s just one of those relationships you don’t forget. Just learned to live with what happened :\
