Thirty years ago I met a girl at summer camp and I fell hard for her. She lived in another state maybe three hours away and I asked her to my junior prom a year later but she was busy with a drama production. She was my senior prom date and it was amazing and exactly what I could have hoped.

That's the kind of memory that could be a painful "what if" had you not got the courage to ask her to prom. Small but critical details like that are everywhere in our lives and they as a collective make up who we are. As you get older you realize you can't miss your opportunities in life. OP, at the very least try and keep in contact with her so she's not a fleeting "what if" memory in 30 years and maybe you have a wonderful one like this.
