Some years back, I started getting to know someone online, then things in real life got in the way & I was away for a looong time...it was just as friends, nothing romantic, but my hope to reconnect don't seem likely to be answered. I know it was 'only' online, but I'm an HSP (a Highly Sensitive Person) & feel things more deeply than most people do. All I can think of was the time she wrote, "I so much wanna' meet ya'," and the regret I have that my hiatus has probably ruined any future chance of truly connecting again. And my PC got all virused-up & has been inoperational for years now, so I can't even retrieve our old IMs to give myself some happy recollections. It hurts. And I can't forgive myself for doing something that continues to hurt me.
