I think the only two options here are check/call or push. You have come this far so just pray he is on a busted flush draw. Given those two choices, check/calling is my preferred play. If your opponent has the Queen then you are going broke either way. If he doesn't then at least give him a chance to bluff at the river. Certainly a missed flushed draw isn't calling a push so the only way to get chips from him is to allow him to bet.

this is what i wish i had done in hindsight, and i definitely agree with this.

amazingly enough, i was dead the entire time and the queen actually saved me. i pushed and was called by A7. crazy!

and regarding the limp, the previous 4 hands had gone 5+ limpers with no raise. with implied odds i am going to do this every time, even UTG. i can fold to a raise easily. but that wasn't the question.
