The One That Got Away
The one that got away
Frustrated and aggravated are the words I used today.
Because this season I met
Ms. The one that got away!
With family's merging, this was to be a soiree
In walks my husbands family and
Ms. The one that got away!
This is why you should RSVP !
So you will know who is coming!
So, You will know who it will be!
My husbands mother looked at me and smiled,
she said Eva was here for a conference
and she would be in town for awhile.
She explained that her and Gabe were old friends and that
they had dated each other since they were 10.
An she wasn't sure why Eva didn't close the deal .
The audacity of his mother bringing that up made me feel quite ill.
My brother smacked me ******* the shoulder
and said " ooh he has a type "
Then Everyone looked at her, than at me,
then my husband guided me up the stairs quickly,
obviously I was not happy
We have the same color hair, the same type of build, same eye color, it was getting quit weird.
As I came back down I stop in my tracks
to observe them together just to see how he acts.
How he melted in a puddle evertime she said whatever
my little girl ran up to her, thinking it was me .
Her dad picked her up and placed her on his knee
when I over heard Eva make such a remark
this is what our future would have been like such a lively spark.
just then I tripped over my dress
I fell down the stairs
I fell really hard and bumped my big head
my husband looked embearessed, he turned and looked away.
with tears welling up in my eyes,
my husband asked if I was ok
I over heard the conversation between you and ms. the one that got away
he kissed my tears and he whispered
please hear what I say
inspite of your clumsiness I just couldn't walk away
I would have been a fool to let you be
the one that got away.
So I looked pass him and I stuck out my tongue at you know who right away
and I'll have to worry about my mother in law clenching
her pearls some other day
