DON'T!
I had one 'love' like that.
No one will compare to him.
But he didn't love me.
I love him, and he didn't love me and he doesn't care and heaven knows where he is now.
I'm not going to find out and I'm certainly not going to let him figure in the life I had now. Uh uh.
There's another. A person who did love me. For who I was.
Way back when. When we were both young.
But he never said. I wish he had. I found out later, from his best friend.
But by then it was too late and you know, I regret that, even though it wasn't my fault. Heaven knows what he thinks.
He was a good man, if not a great one. I loved him for him. He was born a wealthy family, but I had no cognisance of that back then and it would have mattered nothing if I had, only him.
And both our lives would have been soooo different. If only I'd known, how he felt.
And even if I never clap eyes on him, and God knows, I hope I never do, because I have enough regret as it is, nothing can change that, there's no going back.
I'm still 38. I still have 3 kids. I'm still how I am, where I am.
But if anything, I don't have time or energy for bullshit.
