too long ago

It's a bit amusing how my Present, who has always advocated me staying friends with my pasts, found one particular Past's maneuverings irritating. Amusing in a nice, sweet kind of way. 

And two and a half years ago, this was written:

Anyway, this is just my way of coping with your being gone and away. I will let go only when it is time to let go of my feelings for you. For now, I will hold on with what I feel for you, as long as I can. I have no expectations, just hopes. Hope that we will both be happy with our lives, together or apart. Hope that we will continue to be friends, and keep in touch from time to time. Hope that the lessons we learned will stay with us forever, and will help us in our future relationships.

Gasp. We hardly kept in touch. We barely communicate. But for whatever it's worth, we each found our happiness.
