A while back during the Garth Brooks days of country music (which as you know he is now returning to it) there was a song “Unanswered Prayers.” In this song he referred to praying that a relationship would last. However, the prayer, as he thought, was not effective and he and the girl split. Later, in the song, he was married and ran into the old flame in which he had prayed for a lasting relationship. Thinking about his wife and family he then realized that his prayers did come true and that the first relationship was not meant to be.
I have never had a serious relationship with anyone except for my husband. I have dated others but never for a substantial length of time. However, did our relationship not work, I think that it could be a very awkward moment to run into him or an old long time flame.
I think when seeing an old boyfriend or girlfriend for the first time in a while or since separation many different occurrences may happen.
If you have moved on and are in a new relationship, things may go as in Garth’s song and you may be thankful that things did not work out as you had once thought.
If you were unsettled with the break-up and have not moved on, you may feel uneasy and saddened by the sight of your old flame.
Whether or not you still have intimate or romantic feelings for each other, it can bring back several different emotions when you are reunited or come into contact with a person in which you had a serious relationship. It is impossible for two people who once shared a very close and personal bond not to have some spark of remembrance when they come into contact with each other.
So have you run into an old boyfriend or girlfriend and how did it make you feel?
