Ever wondered where they went?

I don't know if this is the right sub for this, but here it goes.

A little over 2 years ago, I met someone online. We lived in the same city, but very different places. I was in a lot of pain at the time, and maybe it was more so the loneliness, but we connected very well. Unfortunately, things just weren't working out, despite the connection. We could talk for 10 hours straight, and then not talk for a month after that because of some disagreement. It was crazy, definitely not the best situation. Like I said, I was in a lot of pain, traumatized, and battling horrible life conditions.

So yeah, this went on for almost a whole year. We'd talk like crazy for like 2 weeks, video calls, hours of phone calls, chats, etc.
Then, something would happen and we wouldn't talk for a month or 2 after that.
In my head, I knew it was never going to work, and maybe they knew, but I kept holding on due to having no one at the time.

Eventually, straw that broke the camel's back type of thing, I ended it. Cold turkey, painful as it was, and I never looked back. They reached out 3 months later about some minor unrelated issue, but I gave short answers and kept it moving. I blocked them everywhere, and I made sure there was no way for me to ever reach them even when I wanted to or my life depended on it.

That was that, and it's now been almost a year and a half. Every now and then, I find myself wondering where they went or how they took the whole ordeal.

I'm not keen on rekindling anything, it's more so curiosity, and the shock that you could speak to someone for months on end, and then one day, it's like they never even existed to begin with. Scary!

It's a human kind of curiosity. It's like they never existed at all and everything that happened was a fever dream. No closure, no nothing, just silence for eternity. Terrifying stuff.
