I don't know why but this scene popped into my head right after our conversation ended.
I think Ted is me today.
All of the chasing led me to him being my friend.
I didn't get what I wanted but I got a friend.
And when you really do love someone, you let your friend find the love of his life. You stop trying to be theirs.
I think i'll always get jealous when he gets someone. I'll always have that protectiveness. But I'm not gonna chase after him anymore. Because, after more than 5 years I realized it won't work.
This doesn't mean I have erased the hope that one day he'll change his mind. It just means that I won't try to change it.
