I miss this one woman I worked with, I worked at a group home for the mentally ill. It was difficult at first but due to the individuals high functioning skills we worked out a pretty great routine. Than the woman I missed started to work at my site with me, I had been so used to working alone that it surprised me when she actually wanted to help. Then of course, a week later I found out she was engaged to be married. I knew it would turn out badly but it still didn't stop me, working in close proximity, having a routine that was pretty much set in stone and her actually showing an interest in me. She was beautiful, she worked at many of the types of companies I had worked at before (same brand name store, company, etc. just a different city) and she liked a lot of things I did. She invited me to the wedding, and a week before the wedding happened, I snapped. I told her exactly how I felt about her and I didn't hear from her again. She worked at a different site, she didn't answer my emails. I had only sent two, never once getting a response that I was making her uncomfortable and then I was called into the office getting written up for harassment. I didn't understand then, all I felt was heartache, humiliation, and pain.
It's still relatively fresh in my mind, since it happened a few months ago but looking back a part of me had to know what I was doing was wrong; I just wanted to believe that woman who I had at least befriended could still be my friend again. Due to what I was feeling at the time of the write up I resigned from my job. I can't say with certainty how she feels, what has occurred since then but she probably is happily in marriage bound bliss happy that I am gone and laughing about it with all the friends that tried to console her as a victim of harassment. Yet I still do miss the person I thought she was and wish I had the chance to really figure her out. I'll never get what I had back but for the few months I worked with her, it was bliss and I'd trade anything to get that back if it was realistically possible.
