Hi /adv/, this might be a bit long so i hope you'll bare with me

A couple of years ago i fell in love for the first time. It was with someone i'd known for just over a year by that point, regularly interacting but never becoming real friends until we "clicked". Became *very* good friends fast and started spending a lot more time together. Eventually realized i'd never had as good a friend and shortly after started to fall in love and eventually considered if i'd met my "soulmate" and blah blah... either way the time never felt right (worst excuse) to tell this person and we remained intimate friends for the next few months while i tried to keep my affection hidden, assuming upfront that the "romantic" love wasn't consensual.

There were some complications in between but about 3 months later a (former) friend blabbered stuff he shouldn't have and as a result the person i'd fallen for found out and i just slowly started to distance myself eventually erasing all contact and it's been troubling me since to various degrees.

Have been with other people since but i think i always felt that those relationships weren't formed to last or fulfill in ways other than mostly sexual so they just ended up as flings.

So i guess I'm trying to make up my mind as to whether i should face my past and try to reconcile before it's too late or just let it fade into memory?
