6 years later...

Current mood:upset

Can you believe people hang on to their anger for years? I just received a hateful e-mail from someone from my past. It was simple to the point, but just plain hurtful. 6 years ago there was a break up, and with break ups there is hurt and with hurt there are feelings, words, and crazy thoughts, and worst off~ miss-communications. I feel like a miss-communication is the worst, especially if you are hurting because you can take something in the wrong content or believe something that is untrue (in this case) and it can crush all of you. Because we were never given the chance to make things right by explaining the truth at that time, I attempted a year later... but the damage was already done. You can't change the past, or anyone's feelings of the past for that matter. Over the past six years there might have been two or three e-mail correspondances, but nothing more than a couple of "how do you do's". Until recently. I guess it was my mistake. I wrote an e-mail to see how life was and family etc... a month later I get the e-mail I got today- angry as can be- to never contact him again- WOAH! was it that he never let go of his pain, his anger? Or is it that I still am hanging on hoping we could be aquaintances. I don't have any of the feelings I used to 6 years ago, but I have a hard time swallowing the idea of never speaking to someone I was so close to all because of a miss-communication. ugh!
