He knew her eversince they were a child. He was attracted to her beauty and sweet smile. They went to the same school during highschool. She was one of the popular girls in the campus while he was just a nobody. He left town to study college in another city and so did she, but they would still see each other once in a while. And every time he saw her, his heart skipped a beat.Yet, he still had no courage to tell her what he felt.
when he did summoned all the courage to tell her about it, it was too late. Another man had captured her heart.It left him no choice but to move on and find another love. He tried and built a family of his own.
Then, one day he saw her again unexpectedly. She is also a member of the site he joined. They became virtual friends only to realized that he hasn't forgotten her all these years.
Seeing her happy, beautiful face is making him miserable. His heart full of pain from losing her, envy of her husband and regret for not taking his chance sooner with her...
How sad that could be...

Oh dear! I thought you were writing a story here but after reading your repsonses I guess it is a true one.This is not sad but unnecessary. He must be mature enough to realise that the deed is done and he has lost his chance.There would be someone better for him and even in films, failed love does rejuvenate with a new partner.
In this case, it is better for the girl not to be in touch contact with him whether in virtual or real life because , her life may get ruined for no fault of hers.

Hello, Kalav.:)
I can not name names, dear but they are my personal friends. :) So pathetic , right?
I'm not sure if she knew that he adored her. I did not pry further. But I know that she can affect him in such a way that hurt him.
The girl is very much happy and content with his family, but, the guy in my story isn't.Plus, the girl did not have a crush on him and never took notice of him in a romantic way even before. So, it is just the guy who has a problem while she is having a great life....

Half of it is just a pigment of my imagination, the other half is yes, from experience.:)
The story is quite sad but there should be a lesson to be learned here, and that is to follow your heart and do not be scared in taking risks especially when it comes to love. The heart is a stubborn enemy when it refuses to forget...

That is why in Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

@Strawberrychocodahi:It is beyond human capabilities to understand the heart, I guess. Only God understands every beat of it and its desires....

Hi dear!
I think human emotions sometimes flow in such a way that people tend to cross the border lines either knowingly or unknowingly and if one goes beyond the established norms/border lines, in the long run he will have to suffer.

Thanks for introducing a new term - 'unguarded emtions'......lol!
I agree that sometimes it gets difficult to forget someone, but remember - 'where there is a will, there is a way'.

Unguarded emotions, dear? :)
Well, this man has definitely arrived to that stage. But I guess he is doing everything to forget her only, it is very difficult for his mind or even heart to do it.
Sometimes, it takes time before we can totally forget someone we hold so dear in our hearts....

Sometimes we meet someone in our lives that has the biggest influence on our lives. Wwhen this person comes into our lives, we don't want to lose them. We want to hang on to them however we can. Just because there may be no relationship, that does not mean we have to forget that person ever existed. We still have our memories to cherish.@eurekafemme (5874)

It is true and I agree with you, Sender.:)
We can not stop people from coming in and out of our lives. And when they do come out, they will surely leave a mark in our hearts and lives that it is so impossible to forget them... But, it is better to remember them with happy thoughts and not with regrets...

Hi sweetie.
I don't know where this is going, but that is sad.
If you truly love someone, no one and nothing can stop you from telling that person what you feel.
You cannot let love pass you by.
That is the biggest mistake a lot of people make.
TATA.

If I were in his shoes, dear, I would have told her while I still had the chance. I do not know exactly why he did not. Maybe, he was insecure... I feel sorry for him, though...

That is a very sad story but there nothing we can do when it is impossible to change someone's heart. The only thing that he could do now is if he really loves her still then he should be happy and thankful that the woman he loves is happy and not miserable instead with the man of her choice. Have a nice day

It is a sad story, all right... And I feel sorry for the guy, too. Moving on is the key for him to free himself from regrets of losing his chance with her. And to move on is to feel happy for her. I guess, he is happy for her. Only, he still wishes that he is the one who is in her husband's shoes...

Thanks, Lingli. :)
Sometimes, we are too coward to take chances only to realize later on that we are a fool not to...
I'm glad this isn't my story... I have lost a person I used to love so much in the past but I don't feel pain whenever I see his picture. We are friends in FB and I only remember the good times with him.:)

Aw, that is so sad. Is this a true story? Are you the guy in the story? I sort of can relate to it. :)

Hi, allamgirl.:)
No, this isn't my story but on my friend's. He has a big crush on her but he wasn't so confident to tell her about it. Such a waste, right? I pity him for losing his chance...

What a devil's foothold to trap one person and sin before God. A person who does not look on his future and still dwells and lingers on his past shall always be disoriented.
He got his family now so stop sinning by taking in into temptation. Just don't think selfishly about his own self and think of what will others feel especially his family. Would he abandon his own family and love just because a past came back to his senses?
This is one classic example that the devil tries to imply on people who cannot accept that adultery is a sin by just looking into a woman with lust. Love? what kind of love will you call if someone will leave a person because he still pursue to get anew? That is plainly selfishness and being self centered. Does not care what will happen to the people who loves him just because he wanted to get what he wants. In my own opinion it will never be called love.

Hi there, Strawberrychocodahi.:)
What can I say? You have very well hit the spot...You have said it all that I can no longer add something else to clarify what is my opinion about this subject. I have to only say "I absolutely agree!"
But some men do not think this way, they would rather shake the thought out of their heads that they are selfish and would find reasons to justify their deeds and their feelings....

He, perhaps, envy the man who is holding her past love. She still looks so great and so beautiful despite of the fact that she aged. Her husband is equally good looking only gained a little weight.
He must be telling himself every time he sees their pictures together " I could have been that man sitting right next to you..."

Oh eurekafemme, you're so full of sad stories these days...cheer up! Life is short, so let's make a twist to the story. If the story you were telling is true then there's no choice but for the guy to move on and forget about his first love. It's a bit selfish of him to think of someone else when he's married and it's unfair to his wife to be used as "panakip butas" (translation please...), clueless that her husband is fantasizing about someone else all these years. If he really love the girl then he could have pursued her or if he's too afraid to fail then the least he could do is to remain single and waited until he's got enough courage to tell her. I can relate to the story a little bit, I think everyone does, we all have our high school crushes and somehow the feeling stayed but we all move on and someday we just find them on facebook with their own families too. It's a little sad, in some cases, envious especially if you learned that the most most beautiful girl in school is now married but then again it's a little too late but feeling miserable about it is the last thing in my mind.

yes, that was one sad story. However, his decision was made, and he of all people should know the consequence of his action. I mean, he wasn't brave enough to let her know what he feels before, so he should be at least be brave now to accept the result of it. We all have regrets, there are always "what ifs", "could have been"...and it's really heartbreaking to think of what might have been. Nevertheless, for people to be able to move forward, such thoughts should be eliminated the moment it started to flicker in our minds. There are things that aren't meant for us, and there are decisions and actions that has been done and cannot be taken back...we shall live in the present in order to make it to the future...dwelling in the past will be the biggest mistake that people could make.

YOu are indeed right, Bokal.. He must have let her slipped away because he was so young, then and with insecurities, not so sure of himself and what to do. He ,perhaps, wasn't ready for the consequences if she'd turned him down. Unfortunately, he isn't ready to accept he had lost her for good, either...And it is too late for him to do anything about it...
