Would things have been different if we had lived on this street at the same time? Without-a-doubt, the frequency of our encounters would have increased with me being so conveniently nearby instead of on the other side of town. Would more time together have led us to realize that he had compatibilities beyond the sexual? Would we have become closer, or would the proximity end up being too much for one of us to handle? Would my heart have accepted hers and vice versa?
It's not worth thinking about. She's not coming back any time soon. With any luck, some developer will come along and tear down that shitty apartment complex, speeding up the destruction of the memories that took place there. Time will pass, and her street will eventually become my street.
