Regret

There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear.

He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.

Every year at Christmas , his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up.

He was aware that she still held some hope of re-kindling the past romance with him.

He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back.

That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest.
