I met some friends for an early cocktail this evening. We ran into someone I used to date and for whom I still have fond feelings.
He waved me over and we chatted a bit and then all of a sudden he was staring at me, then he gave me a big hug and told me he misses me. It was all I could do to keep from bursting into tears.
As my friends and I were leaving he blew me a kiss and I wanted to run back over to him and tell him to call me but I didn't. I hope he will anyway.
Connecting with people is never easy for me and sometimes it makes me so, so sad.
