I Think You’ll Regret The Chance You Didn’t Take On Her

I feel sorry for you. For her. For what the both of you had the potential to be, but never became. A close-but-not-close-enough, a halfway c

Wow! Great article! 👌🏻

For a few weeks, I really struggled to understand why we went from being so close to nothing. For a few weeks, it hurt to think of you losing interest in me. It hurt to not see your name pop up on my phone like it did every single day for the past several months. Maybe we were "grey", maybe we were "just friends", maybe we were an "almost". And maybe that was okay for you. It wasn't for me. I still miss you every single day. Whenever we do get to talk, it still makes me happy as it did before. But I guess I’m letting go. I’m letting go of that fantasy that I created for us, because that’s all it really is, isn’t it?

WHY 'ALMOST RELATIONSHIPS' F**KING SUCK | Rebeccalee | Australia | Fromsydneywithlove

You're on top of the world - maybe you just came home from an overseas trip with your girlfriends, finished your university degree or landed your absolute dream

Relationships are hard, but almost relationships fucking suck.

It felt so right that it felt wrong to let it go

Minutes after it had all ended, I repeated “he just doesn’t see it” over and over again. But time heals all. 

It’s okay to feel. It’s okay to find out that after all this time, you were the only one who wanted it. It’s okay to take a leap of faith for something that you believed was a good thing. It’s okay as long as you know at the end of the day that you are worth it. If the other person doesn’t want the same thing, there’s really nothing you can do about it. Don’t wait around for someone who might not ever see things the way you saw them because it’s a waste of time. Also, you absolutely must realize that it was not your fault.

I know he didn’t mean to hurt me and I had a slight feeling things wouldn’t turn out the way I wanted it to, but I needed to know for sure. Based on previous mistakes, I just had to do this for myself so that I didn’t make the same mistake again of holding back only to realize that I shouldn’t have bit my tongue. 

I can tell you that the reasoning behind how all these feelings developed was legitimate. I went from telling someone I would never consider him to where we are today, and I can guarantee that he won’t come across many others who see what I see. What we had was amazing but as my friend told me, “if it ain’t right then it ain’t right.”

I still care about him even though it probably doesn’t feel like it to him, but I don’t know if we’ll ever be the same again. I’m not trying to be cold, I’m just trying to protect myself from relying on him as a safety cushion only to realize it was concrete in the mere seconds before I hit the bottom.

Because I don’t want to love someone who has never been bruised before; I don’t want to fall in love with someone for their beauty, I want to fall in love with what makes them beautiful.
