It wasn’t right but that doesn’t make it bad..

We dated for a year. It sucked to end things but the writing was on the wall. In that year we did so many fun things together. Took some trips went on cute dates and could talk about anything. But never hung out with friends when with each other. Never meet each other families. He meet my brothers when we were accidentally at the same restaurant. But our families knew we had “a friend” but never introduced them. I know what I told my mom when she asked if I was gonna bring him home. I told her no cuz he was just a passing ship. I don’t know what he told his family or even if his family asked. I knew all along but part of me always hoped it would somehow turn into more. We talked about us a few times. He cared about me but didn’t want a relationship (he still lived at home and he’s 3 yrs younger than me) I’ve never let anyone in that far and I was scared that I couldn’t be in a relationship even though I wanted to try it. We both had one foot out the door but I did give him the power. I’m usually more of a hard ass but never was that way with him. He was sweet about it and never mistreated me. A lot of things definitely went over his head and I had to spell things out for him. While we had fun and it was for the best I still miss having someone there.
