The One Who Got Away

But that's the thing about life, right? It doesn't care about your plans. It doesn't stop to ask if you're ready or if you need more time. It just moves forward, dragging you along, leaving you scrambling to catch up. And now here I am, stuck in this awkward space between letting go and holding on, knowing that no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise, it won't be me walking next to you. It's a cruel irony—knowing what you want, seeing it so close, but watching from a distance as someone else gets to live it.

And I guess, deep down, I knew. I knew that it wasn't going to happen. But there was always this tiny sliver of hope, a stubborn part of me that believed it could. That maybe, just maybe, you'd wake up one day and realize that I was right there, ready and willing. But that day never came, and now I'm left with nothing but these thoughts I can't shake. It's annoying, really, because how do you stop feeling something so strong? How do you let go of someone who feels like a part of you, even though you never really had them?

I want to be happy for you, I really do. I want to be the person who can smile and mean it when I say, "I'm glad you found someone who makes you happy." But I'm not there yet. I'm still tangled up in the 'what ifs' and 'could have been,' still hoping for a reality I know will never exist.

And the hardest part is knowing that, at the end of the day, you won't even know. You won't ever fully understand what you meant to me or how much it hurts to see you with him. Because I never told you. And it's my fault; it's on me. I don't blame you—I can't. Maybe I was scared; maybe I was just waiting for the "perfect moment" instead of allowing our perfect moment to happen.

Either way, it doesn't matter, and as much as I wish I could rewrite the ending, I'm not the writer this time.

And that's the hardest part—because, as a writer, I know how to create these stories and build worlds that don't exist. I get to choose who's happy, who gets hurt, who falls in love, and who loses. I can put together words to form the most beautiful images. I've really mastered that—except for this story. Our story.

I envision a million different ways it could have gone—a world where I was the one who renewed your faith in love, eased your hardest days, and brought sunshine to your cloudy skies. I was supposed to be the one who made you smile every day—the one who made you forget everything you'd been through. But those are just drafts of a story never meant to be told.

I thought I could pen my way out of this heartache, and if I wrote about it, it would make sense somehow. But this time, I'm just a character, an afterthought within the margins...

I really just said a bunch of words to say that I am truly happy for you; it's just that I wish it were me.

"The one that got away" is a phrase commonly used to refer to someone with whom you had a romantic connection or relationship that ended prematurely, often due to external circumstances, timing, or miscommunication. It can also refer to a person who you felt a strong connection with, but for some reason, the relationship did not develop further.

People often use this phrase to describe a sense of regret or nostalgia about what could have been, or what they perceive as a missed opportunity. The person who got away may represent an idealized version of a romantic partner, or someone who they believe would have been a better match than their current partner.

However, it's important to note that the idea of the "one" or a soulmate is a myth. There is no one perfect person for anyone, and relationships are not predetermined. The concept of the "one" can lead to unrealistic expectations and put undue pressure on both partners.

It's also possible that the person who got away was not actually the right match for you, and that you are idealizing the relationship because it didn't have a chance to play out fully. In some cases, the person who got away may represent a missed opportunity for growth and learning, rather than a missed chance at true love.

Whether the person who got away would have been the "one" or not is impossible to know. It's important to focus on your present relationships and make the most of the connections you have, rather than dwelling on the past.

I loved you

So I lost you

Because I knew I would losses you

You where easred from my memories

So the pain would destroy me

There's not much left of me

If i held on to those memories like I wanted too

There wouldnt be anything left

But a crushed empty shell

I literally remember everything, every little detail, how we could make each other the happiest people alive and at the same time we had our bad days some very bad days but we always seemed to get through them. Regardless I enjoyed every day with you, when we were together everything made sense, it was like I’d met a part of me that was missing. Everyday with you was an adventure, a dream. We had such an amazing connection, we couldn’t live without each other, month after month became stronger and stronger making us have an irreplaceable bond that I don’t and won’t have with anyone other than you. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you even simple tasks, even my routines still remind me of you, I can’t go to Wetherspoons and sit upstairs because that was our thing, shortly after we broke up our special place closed. Every time seems to lead back to you and us, I talk about you to my friends, nothing bad, just how amazing you was and how happy you made me, funnily enough I still show you off, I still have all the photos of us, I must admit my favourite tradition was our anniversary’s with the traditional Egg & Cress sandwich with the views and of course you. I must admit it’s been a while since we haven’t spoke but I actually text you a lot, you wouldn’t know that as you have my calls and texts blocked.. I want you to know that you will never ever be forgotten, you will never ever be replaced and nobody and I mean nobody will ever come close to you, as much as you pissed me off at times and even on purpose with the poking each other or me tickling you too much and you getting grumpy the time I spent with you were truly amazing and some of the best times I have had, you was and always will be my best friend and I will never stop loving you, I should be over this by now but the truth is none of it’s gone, none of it’s got easier, I probably don’t even cross your mind, you won’t love me anymore, I’m probably just someone you walk past and think another face. Every time I see you in the street or on a night out my heart sinks, as soon as I see you all I want to do is come over and hear your voice, say my name, and hug you and never let go, but I know I can’t, as soon as I see you within seconds every feeling, every moment, every memory, every kiss, every fight, every photo comes back rushing through my head, it really does kill me knowing that you aren’t mine anymore. I still think about everything we planned together, moving into our flat, our husky Theo, and us then feeling bad saying we’d had to get him a buddy called Oscar, everything was planned, nothing scared me with a future when it came to you, it all felt normal and natural that I’d never had before. We wasn’t perfect don’t get me wrong but we had something amazing that I know I won’t find with anyone else, please come back to me, please come home. I never stopped loving you, forever and always

2. Anne Bonny and in extension Mary Read - If you haven’t seen Black Sails, watch it! Clara Paget is a great Anne Bonny. An Irishwoman, a redhead, and one of the most famous pirates of all time operating in the Caribbean during the eighteenth century. She was a lover of the pirate captain “Calico Jack” and friends with fellow crewmate Mary Read. Both women were often remarked for crossdressing as men for disguise in their profession, which I mean come on who wants to work in a petticoat (sorry Elizabeth Swann). Both Read and Bonny were apart of the Golden Age of Piracy, the eighteenth century was a marvel for pirates to be alive. Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read were eventually captured and while Calico Jack and Mary Read both have recorded deaths (Jack was executed and Mary died in prison as Read and Bonny both claimed to be pregnant to avoid execution) Bonny’s death was never recorded. Some even believe she escaped prison or was released although the latter is unlikely. #top5femalepiratesofhistory #authorsophiamenesini #theveiledthreat #theveiledduchessseries #annebonny #maryread #theonewhogotaway #realcaribbeanpirates (at Alhambra Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UanAVATNF/?igshid=5umqace6zb60

Raspberry Raindrops #FLA2018 - Raspberry Raindrops (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/T4AZDL3jLK Anne and Allan met in highschool by accident on a rainy day. Both of them were so alike that everyone thought that they would be the perfect couple, but it was not like that and with a heart broken Anne disappear without saying to him good bye, without telling him how she felt. Years later, Anne and Allan gather again in a rainy day. Could it be time to said their feelings?
