Me? I am "The One That Got Away," you say.
You? The one who took too long.
Us? Never going to happen; a thing in the past.
Do I ever stray away from reality and think about the "what ifs"?
Of course.
But that's in another life.
In another life, I might be yours.
But I think about the things I wouldn't have if I ended up with you.
Most importantly, my son.
He plays a crucial role in the woman I have been shaped into today.
I can never give that up.
Any children I may have had with you wouldn't have shaped me in the way my little boy has.
I love my husband. I really do.
Were we a wrong fit for each other at one point?
Absolutely.
But in the two years he and I were split up, I prayed for him every single day.
I prayed that he'd better himself.
Not for me.
Not even for our son. (Although that was very helpful)
But for HIMSELF.
He was miserable with the life he was living.
I truly believe I was placed in his life for a reason.
As he was for me.
So, sorry.
For now.
And probably forever.
I will remain...
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

Cold,
As cold as the moment
You threw me away.

Lost,
As lost as the moment
You left me standing.

Certain,
Fate has ascertained me,
You are one with me.

Sad,
Fate also has saddened me,
You are not what the book allows.

Is it not insane?
I am myself is a "why?"

You are one with me...
In another life I have embraced...

I am here with you, and you are here with me
Every day we share the warmth of our energy, like the sun and the sea,
At un-scheduled times the waves crash hard and things fall off like the Boston Tea,
The struggle and the persistence, the voyage and the party,
As our loves floats, like floating bins, we can never forget that we were meant to be,
So please if you’re ever lost at sea, Hold your breath and wait for me…….
