Lagoon trip and former girlfriend

August 7, 2023, Monday night, 10:38pm, mountain standard time, condo in Evanston, Wyoming, USA. Went to the amusement park Lagoon today. Stayed until closing then drove to our former hometown of Centerville for In and Out burgers. This morning at the Maverik gas station in Evanston I made eye contact with my high school girlfriend. She didn’t recognize me. I only knew it was her from seeing pictures on Facebook. The encounter happened so fast she was gone before I could say anything. But then, what would I say? There were years I spent heartbroken because of her. Now, she can walk by me and all I feel is indifferent. I guess time wears everything smooth, even the most passionate of feelings.
