It had been three long years since Jasmine had seen her ex-lover, Tyler. They had parted ways somewhat on bad terms despite their love for each other. They each had moved on with their lives, but something in Jasmine's heart always felt missing. She couldn't help but wonder what could have been, had they stayed together. One day while out on a trip, Jasmine saw Tyler across the street. Her heart skipped a beat and her palms began to sweat. They locked eyes for a moment before he smiled and walked towards her. They hugged and exchanged pleasantries, catching up on each other's lives.
They talked for hours reminiscing about old times and discussing the changes in their current lives. Jasmine felt as though they had never truly lost touch with each other. As the evening grew darker, they found themselves sitting on a bench in a nearby park, lost in conversation. It was then that Jasmine realized that she still loved Tyler. She had never truly moved on from him. As they continued to talk, she felt her heart flutter with every word he spoke.
For a moment they turned to each other and looked into each other's eyes until Jasmine subconsciously whispered "I missed you". He sat there in silence eyes widened in surprise, but he cracked a smile and leaned towards her whispering "I missed you too".
They held each other, basking in the warmth of knowing that their love had never truly been lost died.
But sadly their moment didn't last long. Jasmine woke up to find herself in her bed, with tears streaming down her face. "It had all been a dream" she muttered. She had never reunited with Tyler. The pain was unbearable, but she knew it was for the best. She could never go back in time and fix the mistakes they had made. Jasmine couldn't help but wonder if it was fate trying to tell her to move on from the past and find love in the present. She cried herself to sleep thinking that it was time to start anew.
She would always love Tyler, but she had to learn to let and move on.
