Last summer, I worked with this guy for three months. We saw each other for ten hours every day, six days a week. It was just me and him in a little shop. We got on very well, we talked about all sorts of things - literally anything you can think of. I didn't realise it at first, but I had fallen for him in every way.
In September, we both went back to our different universities but still saw each other about once a week - he'd drop in on the days I was working part time and vice versa. However, this ended in January when we both quit. (It was quite a demanding job and didn't leave sufficient time for college coursework.)
The only thing was, he had a girlfriend who he lived with. Nothing ever happened between him and me. It was very strictly platonic. However, two months ago, he broke up with the girlfriend.
Nearly a year later, I can't get him out of my head. I know he has flaws, but I accept them. It's not like I think he is the most perfect fantastic guy out there, because he's not. But I still love him. I've been with a few guys since, but it's just not the same - it's not him. Should I tell him? Or not? I mean, I'm probably never going to see him again. I just need closure with him and don't know how to get it.
I apologise for the length of the post. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
