Truth is, you’re an amazing person. I hope that the memories of our wonderful conversation last night will stay with me for a long time. I couldn’t quite figure out if this was just a casual evening for you or whether you were truly interested in me. I certainly am in you. But I need to let it go for now. We’re walking different paths and while these have briefly crossed, there is no way for this to work out in the near future. You and I, we’re both ambitious. We want to be successful. So we have to climb. But each of us has to climb alone. So keep on climbing. I wish you all the best – knowing that you will find success and happiness.

I will continue as well. And in a few months, I will only remember our encounter as a brief break that I took from walking. If only things were different.
