Yesterday I ran into an old flame! Not just any old flame, but my favorite. I hadn't seen him in about 4 years. He is married and happy it appears. I can't believe how it affected me though.
We had a really steamy relationship about 10 years ago. We worked together and had become best friends for over a year. We both were involved with other people so we kept it friends. It turned into a very deep love. THe problem is that he is considerably younger than me by about 12 years! I knew he would mature and find someone his own age, which is what happened. But still it was very painful when it happened. We went for years without seeing each other and then 4 years ago attended a dinner that reunited about 8 people from our old office. It was great. Just he and I stayed late and talked until early in the morning.
I could tell he wanted to kiss me but he didn't. I respect that.
A mutual friend at the dinner said it was obvious he was still in love with me. I tried to not think about it. He was involved with me when he met his wife and she knew all about our break up. I thought she would show up at the dinner, but she didn't. She did call him on his cell phone about every hour. In one call I heard him tell her, "You know I love you." I don't know what she saying, but I got the idea he was reassuring her that no hanky panky was going on.
Anyway, I will not involve myself with a married man, but the idea of kissing him again is so appealing. I know it's wrong, but I can't seem to get the vision out of my head.
I guess the best thing to do is stay far away from him.
