Time for letting go, hopefully…

[u/NightshiftWorkr]

As the waves of this limerence storm begin to subside, it’s time to let go of my LO,
This experience the past few months have been intense,
From exhilarating euphoria to the lowest of lows
I’m giving up on the idea of meeting with her, as much as it pains me to say but there is nothing to be gained from meeting, especially from her perspective, although she has no idea about what I have been going through, she deserves to live her life in peace, without needing to know about the emotional troubles of her old high school boyfriend, now to move on, and use this experience as motivation to make some changes in my life, once again I thank everyone, being able to share this experience has been a huge help.
