[ He hesitated, carefully thinking over what he should and shouldn't say. It took him a while to wade through the drunken fog in his mind to figure out what couldn't be mentioned. ]
There was a woman I loved a long time ago. Thought I'd never see her again. Spent a long time trying to forget her. Then one day despite the odds I ended up here, and so had she.
[ Will popped the beer can open and took a long drink, trying to will himself to keep talking. ]
I was real angry at first. I was bloody furious. I'd thought she was out of me life forever, but then she told me she was sorry. She was sorry and wanted me back. All those old emotions came back like nothin' had happened. For just a while it was like she'd never hurt me.
Think we lasted about two days before gettin' into a fight.
[ There was a slight smile on his face, but it wasn't an entirely happy one. ]
She told me things I wasn't ready to hear. It was like havin' my heart ripped out all over again but I shoulda let it go like I know she would have if it had been me. I should've been understanding but instead I was a right bastard. I don't know how to make it right again, Skye.
You're so sure she'd have let it go? Then what makes you so sure she wouldn't this. After a real apology. What I do know is that if she really means that much to you, the regret you're feeling now won't compare to when you regret not talking this out with her.
Finish the beer, go find her. I'd say kiss and make up but you should probably do the make up part first.
[ Will stared at the table, a bit too ashamed to look at her after his outpour of emotion. For all the better he had become at keeping them locked away it hadn't taken long for him to become awfully poor at it again.
The things Skye said made perfect sense. It all seemed so easy to remedy when she said it so plainly, so simply. Was it really that simple, or did it only seem that way because she was a third party?
At the very least, she was completely right about one thing: if he didn't fix things now, he would regret it more and more. He had promised himself he was done with regrets. ]
Does any of this come from positive experience by chance?

That's not the way this drinking thing works. It depends on what you want to share.
