I can think of a couple people who would fall into this category, and it stinks.
Do I wish things had gone differently?
Of course.I will probably wish that for the rest of my life.
But there are some walls that go up that are extremely hard to take down, and even if you can manage to do that, to break through so that you can see that face that you love, it doesn't look the same to you anymore after what happened. And it never will.
And sometimes, it's up to you to tear down that wall, and you would love to, but you can't bring yourself to do it--not just because you're afraid of what you'll find, but because you're afraid that they didn't want that to happen. Afraid that maybe they'll reject your peace offering.
It's not really a question of whether or not you still love or care about that person. Of course you do. When they've been so important to you for so many years of your life, or maybe are even genetically linked to you forever, I think you both know that you will always love that person and care about what happens to them, deep down. If they ever came calling because they desperately needed you for some reason, you'd do your best to be there for them.
But you can't have the good days back. You can just remember them, and hope that somehow there are more to come.
