A person can mistake a feeling of constant longing for love.
@RDMercer, how long has it been since an actual emotional connection was there? And not just for a fleeting moment or two? I mean, long-lasting? Has it been years?

And yes, I think you're mistaking constant longing for how things COULD be or SHOUlD be for actual feelings of love.

Seems to me it's lost on her side entirely, and for you, you're still holding onto hope.
