Based on some out-of-the-blue Googling last week, I think the last girl to break my heart got married today.
It’s been over a decade since we last talked. Less than that since I last wondered if there was some way things could have worked out between us.
I think I convinced myself a long time ago that there wasn’t, even from the moment we met. In the most likely scenario I ever figured, I’d have had to come at things with a very long-term approach in mind, and patience has never really been my forte.
Sometimes I wish I could have a chance just to tell her how much of a positive impact she had on my life. My job, my closest friends, my relationship with Maddie; they’re all things that I can directly trace back to our relationship or our break up.
But even if I did get that chance, I’d only be doing it for selfish reasons.
So really? I just hope everything works out for her and that she’s happy. And if she’s getting married today, that suggests she’s on a good path.
And I hope it’s been a long, long time since she last thought of me.
