For a while, I thought I could have a relationship with this person, as we had seemingly become close within a year or two. I shared my deepest vulnerabilities and most personal experiences with them. They shared similar stories with me, and I appreciated them letting me in on that part of their life. We worked together for a year. They were only a few years older than I. I felt excited to get to know them better as time progressed. Once I graduated college, things drifted apart. I bought them a birthday gift and the following year they bought me a birthday gift too. Texts were exchanged occasionally, until I no longer received any responses. It took some time, but I’ve let go of that possibility and thought of being with this person. I guess we were not meant to be together and that is ok. Some people are only in our lives for a reason, season, or a lifetime. Something I remind myself of regularly.

Single but in love
I still like someone that I met while I was in college nearly 10 years ago. They are single too, last we spoke. Through the years, I have never met anyone else who has made me feel the way I do around this person. I know I'm hanging on too much, and far too long. We see each other occasionally when I'm in town visiting relatives. I have tried my hardest to move forward, but I have never been in a relationship in my entire teen and adult life. I'm on many dating apps and I do message people I'd like to chat with more, in hopes of an in person interaction. I have not been on more than one date with the same person.
