Those feelings were unique to her. I'm almost 50.... This is the only person I've ever been in love with, or wished for. I've never experienced "the one who got away".
That's a tough place to be

Those are all valid feelings, it's hard to know what to say.

Maybe it's okay to feel strongly about someone, but also recognize that they aren't good for you. And then choose yourself despite the pain.

I don't know. My heart goes out to you.

Thanks for this!
