He even had a crush on me at one point. Towards the end of college, he kind of went off and did his own thing and never went out with us anymore &#8212; and we all just attributed the change to the whole growing up and growing apart deal. I know no one is to blame for what happened but I can&#8217;t help but wonder if I had just tried to keep in contact or *something* then maybe he wouldn&#8217;t have felt like he couldn&#8217;t turn to anyone. I don&#8217;t know. I just&#8230; I still can&#8217;t believe it.
