Leaving well enough alone

[cmdr_zoom]

Today I finally gave in to curiousity and googled an old girlfriend, someone I knew about fifteen years ago, toward the end of my awkward adolescence. (But then, aren't they all?) Thanks to a rather uncommon last name, I had little difficulty locating her. She appears to still be active in the SCA, in her other hobbies, and her professional field. I have an email address and, with some more digging, I could probably get an address and even a telephone number.

But I'm not going to.

Things did not end well, mostly due to my foolishness and immaturity at the time, as well as the distance between us - distance which has, if anything, increased since. With any luck, she hasn't thought of me for over a decade. It would be pointless and selfish of me to dredge all of that up, to intrude in her life again, just to say "Hi." I'm supposed to be better than that now. So...

Operator, oh let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh you've been so much more than kind
You can keep the dime

At least you know she's still alive, active in her interests and work, etc. That's always nice.
