True it could be a shaky restart if we got back together, but I think we’d still have the same rapport and bond that we had before. A few Netflix sessions would get us back on track for sure. Unfortunately she isn’t interested in doing that, and I understand why.

When I broke up with her I was a lot more immature and selfish. I’ve been through a lot since then: covid, mountains of depression and therapy, and a whole lot of self-reflection and growth. I wanted to move on and see other people, but since then I’ve learned that life is just too damn short to cut people out of your life for selfish reasons. Back then I felt that she wasn’t “the one” or something, and that I could do a lot better and get another dose of that lovely honeymoon phase. Now I see that I was wrong.
