It's 6 years later, things didn't end on the best terms, you both were too young, countries apart. However, through the years you've been in touch. Every person you are with, just doesn't do it for you like that one person did, who was probably the first love, but one so great it's hard to explain. You both are now single, but a big ocean keeps you apart due to work for now. A vacation of mine is planned, and I intend on seeing him. Does this just open a door that needs to stay closed? Or if it was meant to stay closed, would things seem so alive after 6 years?
Having been through an inter-continental relationship, but not knowing the particulars of your relationship, I can only say that it is very easy to romanticize the past. Try to keep memories as realistic as possible in your mind.

Thoughts, advice? A kick in the head? lol.
I would say go for it.
'The Way We Were' is starting on my tv--
If you have to---you can always do as Barbra did--'Your girl is lovely, Hubble'.

'Affair to Remember'--possibly my favorite movie.
" Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.
Arsey-- Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there...

I'm probably not the best adviser on this topic. If I ever get a chance to 'open that door' again--I intend to do it.
I truly think I am insane when it comes to 'Him'. I restrained myself some time ago--for his own good. Warned him what to expect. If, for some reason he decides to look me up again---at least I will have those warm memories.
Its nice that you have this opportunity, I think you should take it... it reminds of me of first love... even though we never went out and she doesn't even know who I am... talk about me being a weirdo, yet I still can't forget about her...
Well while you might have feelings chances are the other party wont have those feelings. Sometimes it is best to leave it be. Been there done that more than once.

So true. I really cannot understand myself and am discouraged that I can feel this way--some sort of perpetual teenager.
Strange, very strange.
eh--I am going with --“If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.”
How stupid can I be--we had a little chat via email--since he wanted to be 'Friends'. I cried for days--a few weeks. Just like old times. Refrained from further communication. Have pulled myself together. and still, every now and then I'll hear a song and have another little 'twinge'.
There is just no possible way this could ever really work out --I keep reminding myself.
It may be time to listen to my Springsteen CD's--that always seems to help.
Thank you all for the great advice... I think I will just go for it, and see where I end up. I don't want to wonder "what if?"
