Throughout life, we meet people with whom we have an immediate connection. Friendship develops very quickly. You're suddenly inseparable. When it all falls apart as quickly as it started, it's difficult to accept.
I once met a person, and with her I shared a fleeting but intense friendship. Three days after meeting, I was her confidante. She shared her darkest secrets, her hopes and dreams. It seemed we would be Lifers. And then it just exploded. In public. It was all over.
After a few stilted attempts to reignite, we drifted apart. She said some very nasty things. It still stings to think of them.
I saw her today. I was innocently walking along, happily mocking the Christmas pomp. We were on our way back to the car, when my eyes were pulled toward her. I can't tell if she saw me or not. I quickly looked away. It took me a moment to recognise her. It has been over three years. I don't know if she noticed me. I kept walking, and ever since I've wondered if that was the right thing to do.
