Maybe some insight can come from lonesome-tonight's recent posts? About relationships not lasting forever? Whats that poem about some people come into your life for a reason, a season, or something else?

I would say, also, that thats generally how many things in life are. You have an intense meal at a restaurant, but not every day - every day you just have toast for breakfast at home. You have an intense love affair with a handsome stranger on holiday, but you dont move in together and raise a family - hes always off on vacation somewheres! Okay, maybe thats a bad example, idk.

You had something good. Mazel tov! You dont want to be Miss Haversham in Dickens' Great Expectations, stuck in time. You want to be Jane Eyre or David Copperfield (not the magician).
