"on a permanent threshold of an imaginary heaven"

I once kept an unrequited love going for almost a year by writing a short novel about a woman (me) winning back the heart of the man who'd kicked her to the curb (him). I was completely engaged and really believed that if I sent it to him he'd come back. However, not only didn't it achieve the desired goal, but it was never published, so that was that.

Thank you hugely for this. I'm right there now. First time I've experienced it in nearly 30 years. And even more intense this time...
