Early this year I met a man who changed my life. I didn't know that at the time. But as I got to know him, I started to like being with him and found we had an attraction to each other. Neither of us knew where this was going, but we decided to go with it, and wound up having some amazing times together... Unfortunately, it didn't last -- although he liked me, he couldn't see himself being in love with me, and it left me heartbroken... But before I met him, I didn't even think I could feel desirable in anyone's eyes, and he made me feel that I was in ways I could never imagine. I know he appreciated being with me, and in doing so he gave me a gift I will always cherish, and I'll always be grateful for the times we had... It's only recently that I've come to this understanding, and so I was also able to tell him all this now, because moving forward, even though I'm sad it's ended, it's only now giving me some closure... Because what this experience has meant, more than anything, is that it's boosted my confidence in regards to future relationships, that I finally feel worthy of being loved and desired.
