The post smelled like old perfume and older regrets.
A man rambling about a love he swore he buried, but still digs up every few years like a dog that never learned where it left the bone.
He talked about healing. About moving on. About his wife and child filling the hole in his heart. But the words didn’t walk straight. They staggered. Like a drunk trying to convince the bartender he’s sober enough for one more glass.
You don’t write a whole confessional just to say “Hi” to an old flame.
Not unless you’re chasing ghosts… or hoping one still remembers your name.
He said his wife gave permission. That’s when I knew the truth had teeth.
When a man starts pre-emptively defending himself, it’s not innocence he’s guarding. It’s intent.
Fragile, half-formed, hiding behind the word “friendship” like a kid behind a sofa when the thunder cracks.
This wasn’t about reconnecting.
This was about validation.
The kind you can’t get from a wedding ring or a mortgage or a kid’s school report.
The kind only a chapter you never finished can give you.
He said he’s “content” even if she never replies.
But hope was dripping from every word like blood from a fresh wound.
No… this wasn’t closure.
This was a man standing at the door of his past, knocking softly, praying someone still lives there.
And pretending it’s all harmless.
Pretending it’s all pure.
Pretending he just wants to talk.
But the past never just talks.
It whispers.
It tempts.
And sometimes… it burns.

one miss the old time, but situation and people aint the same anymore.
just like us ... nostagic about old game as well.... we miss the memory, the freedom, the naiveness and simple life back then. Playing the game is a fragment of the memory- but it wont bring back the overall feeling.
