When you miss someone you never actually dated, you dont know how to describe them.
Do you refer to them your ex, even though you were never official?
Do you call them an old friend, even though they meant so much more to you than that?

Its hard to explain your relationship to anyone who asks, because the whole thing was complicated.
When you miss someone you never actually dated, you are filled with regrets, with questions andwhat ifs.
When you miss someone you never actually dated, you worry that theyll forget about you.
That they wont even mention you to the new person theyre dating, because you werent significant enough.
That if you contacted them years later, they wouldnt even recognize your name.
When you miss someone you never actually dated, you struggle to find closure.

They might not even know that you liked them in the first place.
You dont know how youre supposed to treat them anymore, because you didnt go through an actual breakup.
You just went your separate ways.
You dont want to come across as desperate.
You dont want them to judge you for pining over a boy that never belonged to you.
The last thing you want to do is live your life without them in it.
When you miss someone you never actually dated, its just as bad as missing someone youdiddate.
Because it doesnt matter how they felt about you all that matters is howyoufelt aboutthem.
It might take you a while to heal, but its going to happen.
