Today was the last time I’ll ever see my crush at university and it hurts more than I expected.
We were never really anything just a few exchanged looks and one brief conversation. There was no confession no defining moment nothing official. And yet the thought of waking up each day knowing he won’t be on campus anymore feels unbearably heavy.
I came home and just lay in bed my chest aching every time I think about it. I’ve never felt sadness like this before even mybody feels drained from how upset I am. I miss her badly.
What hurts most is that nothing ever happened. No closure no answers no what if. Just silence and an ending.
I don’t even know exactly what I’m asking for here. I think I just needed to let this out and hear from people who understand. How do you cope with the pain of something that never even had the chance to begin?

do you think you’re missing her specifically… or the possibility of what she represented for you at that time?

i had a “nothing” like that once. just eye contact, hallway smiles, one real conversation that meant WAY more to me than it probably did to him. when he graduated i felt like someone died and i couldn’t even explain why. it’s such a weird grief because technically nothing happened… but in your head and heart? it was everything. the what ifs are brutal
you’re not dramatic for feeling this. unrealized love still HURTS.
