got played?

i’ve been in love with the same person for the past three years. when i mean in love i mean i have never ever and may will never feel the same about another person. i have turned down other relationships in order to salvage this one many times. they are literally like crack to me. recently we got into an argument in which i confessed my feelings and they said that they share similar feelings. they just graduated college and we’re leaving town so we hung out everyday up until that point and things were looking up. it was a miracle on earth that they shared these feelings with me after i had bottled them up for so long. but now that they are gone i can’t help but think what if they said all of those things just for fun. the things i said to them put me in the most vulnerable place in my life and i was amazed when they said they cared for me. i don’t want to be this clingy person, but i also don’t know what we will do in the future and i want to know. do i ask them or am i just getting played?
