>Just for everyone's edification, I had emailed her in the past, and she told me quite curtly not to contact her, citing difficult life circumstances, but I wrote that email to her anyway.
>She replied and thanked me for the nice words, but said she "doesn't see the point in looking back and think of what could have been regardless of the situation. I think that is pointless."
Honestly i thought that e-mail you wrote was pretty sweet, and any woman would have appreciated something like that, but i would say that now is way too late for that shit, sorry pal.
I have plenty of regrets too, sometimes i go back with my mind and think about what could have been but never was, but sometimes, especially when a lot of years pass, it's just better to move on, even if thinking about it once in a while doesn't hurt.
I mean, thinking about what could have been is fine, but wanting to take action after all these years?
It's not only about the fact that most likely she moved on herself, but you risk of opening an old wound of yours and suffer all over again.
It's not worth it.
