I'm Joe Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I recently got into contact with a girl I knew in school who I was crazy about..... even after 15 years seeing her pictures with her new life makes me weep. Has anyone else been hurt by memories this old? or older... it seems as if there is no nullifying amount of time.
sedgwick Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 What have you done in those 15 years? Have you loved others? Surely you haven't just been pining for her all that time (I hope!) Does it really make you WEEP just seeing pics of her? I was hurt very badly by someone I loved 15 years ago. In 2006, he contacted me again, and I briefly entertained thoughts of getting back together. But when we met up, it turned out he wasn't the same person and I wasn't attracted to him anymore. It was nice, actually!
Peter_pan Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 wow 15 years. thats insane. hope this dosnt happen to me lol yeah i know what you mean sedg its better when you talk to them and they are a different person. sad but good in a way
Author I'm Joe Posted January 24, 2009 Author Posted January 24, 2009 It makes me weep because I always Imagined us having a wonderful life together..you know, White picket fence, 2.5 kids and a dog named skip. and now I see her she has Children and a seemingly happy life, Its like someone took my daydreams and erased me from them. Its not as though I have been constantly longing for her for 15 years. What I want is to be able to look back at my memories and just remember them, not be terribly depressed by them. but the reminder of what I thought then and the reality of what is, makes it seem like a cosmic Joke has been played on me.
