The One That Got Away

You were perfect, you know. I didn't know it then but oh how I do now. Hindsight 20/20 eh? Really applies in this situation. We almost had our time together but it wasn't to be. Someone else moved in before I could do anything...maybe because I didn't do anything. He's pretty lucky.

I'm not bitter though. Jealous, sure. Who wouldn't be? After you see how much you've lost, only then does it sink in and it finally has. You'll always be there in the back of my mind, in that place in my heart set in stone, a memorial of what could have been. I won't dwell on it, stuck in the past, unable to move forward. No that would be stupid of me. It would only deny me the release of finding you again in someone else.

You're out there. The fact that you're here and you got away gives me hope to find you again somewhere. You helped me more than you'll know. "I never thought this would consume me." I realize what it was I felt that time ago...love. A true love that I hadn't felt before. There it was and it tore me apart, throwing everything I thought I knew out the window. I can still feel you thrumming away in my heart, a shadow of the intensity I first felt.

I'm moving on but not forgetting...I doubt I'll ever do that.
