A wee bit disappointed
So I saw the love of my life today, the one who got away, for the first time in ten years, despite driving past his house every day (it’s on the way to work, really!).
He was standing on a corner in town and I was walking towards him with my son. I recognised him right away.
We saw each other for a couple of years (after knowing each other from teen days), 15 yrs ago, but he was ‘just not that into me’. I faced facts and very reluctantly threw him back. But I had it bigtime for him.
So I am walking towards him today, my little heart banging madly away in my chest, trying to make chat with my son, so I can pretend I hadn’t seen him, all the time waiting for him to break into that wide smile, charm oozing. I reached him, then passed him, nothing.
He didn’t recognize me.
