Do you Still Carry a Torch for Someone? Aka, the one who got away.

Yep.

I will always regret walking away from my oldest daughter's father. I met him shortly after moving to AZ when I accidentally tried to walk into my new apartment that actually wasn't mine. I thought my roommate had locked me out so I stood there banging on the door like the cops. Then this John Snow looking dude opened the door and my heart literally stopped. We hung out a bit on and off, found out we had some common friends. Then he asked me to go out one night and we literally never left each other's side until the day we got into a huge argument in my friend's backyard. He took a step towards me and I guess I triggered from a past toxic relationship and freaked out. Ended up staying at my friend's with our daughter and he tried but for some reason I kept pushing him away

He eventually got married and took on her kids, moved to Alaska. I got married and had two more kids...then got divorced. We still talk because of our child but if there was one thing I would change in my life I would have stayed. If my 44 year old self could go back to that day and somehow talk to 22 year old me..I would tell that girl to CTFD.
