Rehashing the past

As much as we may try to dismiss the past and move forward, it is always there lurking - usually lurking in the minds of those around us. So many people are happy to rehash the past. I was faced with my co-conspirator in my transgression a few weeks ago at a movie. I acted like I didn't see her and avoided eye contact. The truth is I would have loved to take a long look in her direction, and I would have loved to had a nice long conversation. The conversation would allow me to raise an issue that drove the final wedge between us, an issue I never raised with her, rather I took it and I turned away. It seemed like everybody else knew of her previous romance with a co-worker, but I only learned of it much later. Her heated romance with a cross dressing fool (no, I can't make that up). I want to present the facts to her and hear an explanation, she always thought nobody knew of it, but it was delivered to me and it changed everything - I only wish I'd known it much sooner.
