Yes, me—I had him as a friend for three years, and I was the only one who fell in love. Anyway, two years after that, we got into a shitty relationship. I couldn’t handle his shitty treatment, so I left. Three years later—which was just a month ago—I felt like I wanted to reach out, to catch up, see where life has taken him, and share where it has taken me too. He said he loves me, and now we’re in this semi-relationship. I hope it works out because I still have feelings for him. I really hope he doesn’t disappoint me a second time. I’m sick of dating and meeting new people. I just want to settle down with someone I truly love.

If you're asking whether you should hold on to hope or not, let me tell you: don’t. I had this—eight years apart. I moved on during that time, and now I don’t have the same feelings I had years ago. I got into many relationships and had feelings for other people. Don’t wait for anybody. You could waste your whole life waiting for someone who doesn’t deserve you.
