Hi Impala

It's possible it could take her 20 years to look back and miss the good friendship you shared. It's also possible she might not view your friendship as good as you do. Unfortunately, it's even possible she'll never even think of you again. Is she worth putting your life on hold for?

When I attended my 20-year high school reunion, I met someone I used to ride the bus with. We chatted on occasion, but that was it. He told me he lived for those moments on the bus with me - he thought of me often and attended the reunion just to see me again. I felt kind of bad because I hardly remembered him and obviously never even thought about him.

It looks to me like you're wasting your time thinking of your friend. I would definitely wait for her to make the next move, but I certainly wouldn't hold my breath in the meantime. Focus on yourself and other friends you have currently in your life - don't risk losing them to the one who "got away."

Some friendships aren't meant to be forever, so chalk it up to experience. In the future, when it comes to your heart/feelings, don't give away what you can't afford to lose.
