He asks: "How do I get over somebody I never had?"
And says:
I did not love you but I almost did. At one time, I might
have loved you – at least, I felt I might have. If you
were never loved by me, then nevertheless you were
loveable to me. Last night I dreamt that your head lay
on my stomach and traced the rise and fall of my
breath. It felt complete natural – even though I knew
once, we had left each other. Even though I knew we had
wounded each other. In the dream state, forgiveness comes
easily. I never loved you but I almost did.
There are days when the breadth of ambiguity feels much
worse. There are days I wish I would have loved you so
I would know how to stop.
