I had hoped you'd be reminded...

"I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over

Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said 
'Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead...'"

So I went to his hometown, the one who told me that I had ruined our chances, and I saw him just briefly from far away. It tied my stomach in knots but I let it go because I knew there was no real point in bringing it up. I've learned not to re-open old wounds. He hasn't though. I got a text later that day saying that he couldn't believe I had been in his town and hadn't told him. We had a short conversation and I thought that would be all, but a few days later I got another text asking if I was still in town (supposedly because he wanted to see me). I thought that maybe we could turn this into some kind of friendship, that maybe that's what he was hoping for. The past few texts I've sent though, have gone unanswered. I guess I had hoped that my sudden reappearance in his life would remind him of what he was missing. That it would re-ignite some longing for me that had been forgotten. Apparently he's more realistic than I am. He knows that there is no hope for us anymore. Either that or he just really likes to mess with my head!

"You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it, to the beat..."
