A bit of back story on this one. When I was 19 I worked at a supermarket and met Becca (changed name). I was in a relationship at the time but Becca and I had an instant connection, like serious chemistry. I’ve never believed in love at first sight but this is definitely the closest thing to it, she was and still is the only person to give me butterflies. I broke up with the girl I was in a relationship with and Becca and I got together. We were together for almost a year and it was incredible, the only issue was I placed her on a pedestal and thought I didn’t deserve her and needed constant reassurance. It got so bad that Becca ended up breaking up with me, which I really can’t blame her for, I was a mess.
Anyway! So after we broke up Becca got into a long distance relationship with one of her childhood friends a few months later. I still had to see her at work so it was pretty awkward. We must have been separated for about 7 months and during that time I worked on myself a lot and got over the issues I had and found a new sense of confidence. Eventually Becca and I get in contact again and become friends. I was still madly in love with her and there was still chemistry there. I wanted her back but was genuinely okay with just being her friend.
