It’s not unrealistic for you to believe that if things workout just fine that you’ll find each other again. In the same way that people in relationships change and grow apart, sometimes those outside of relationships change and grow together again.

I reconnected with a high school sweetheart after like 10 years, we dated for like a year but then things still didn’t work out lol i think being able to love without possession is the best way to do it. Be happy if it does happen but don’t hold your breath on it.
