Redditors who have met a former crush years later, how did it turn out?

Will probably get buried but it's a good story, might as well tell it.

We went to a summer camp together for a few years when we were younger. Our last day of camp, we were about 11 or 12, I finally mustered up the courage to ask her to be my girlfriend. She replied "Ew!" and ran away. Didn't see her for a long time after that until I ran into her at a show the band I was in at the time was playing in New York. It was the biggest show of our career and she was there. We spent all night at the after party talking and I knew I was in love with her. My band was supposed to play in Boston the next day but because of blizzard the show got pushed back a day and I had an extra day in NYC. So I invited her out to dinner. It was an amazing night until I remembered she had a boyfriend. I'd never been so upset in my entire life than when we said goodbye that night. I had been reintroduced to girl I always wanted to marry since I was 9 years old and I couldn't do anything about it. While I was on the road we talked on the phone for 2-3 hours everyday until one day I just could t take it anymore. I had to make my grand gesture. My band would be in New Orleans in 3 weeks (her favorite city). I called her and asked if I could fly her down and have dinner with her again. She told me that she couldn't talk to me for a couple days. I was heart broken. A few days later she called and said that her relationship was coming to an end before we had got back in touch and that she had just ended it. She came down to New Orleans a few weeks later and we had the greatest weekend ever. After that, we were together for two years. An amazing two years with its ups and downs. Eventually it ended because of us living on opposite sides of the country and poor timing in our personal lives. But I think it's amazing that my first crush became my first love so many years later. She's going to be in my city on Tuesday and I can't help but want to see her. We haven't talked much at all in the past year, I doubt she knows how much I miss her and wish things could have turned out different in a way we would still be together. Anyways, that's my story
