The One Who Got Away

People are always talking about it. People are always warning you, guiding you, or plain poking their noses into it.

The one who got away.

When talking about "unrequited love", he never gets unmentioned. The same way goes when talking about "a love gone wrong", "a love that was never meant to be", "a love that will never be mine", " a love that was almost mine".

The should-haves,what-haves,could-have-beens...they never run out.

How do you definitely know he was the One?

Once it was said that the one you think about at certain times was the one who got away. The one your mind keeps coming back to, thinking what else you could have done to make him stay, and what you really had done to make him leave. He's the one who stirs up a boil in you with just the thought of his smile. He's the one who practically drives you to insanity but the one who makes you stay grounded. The one who made dreams come true, and the one who failed you. The one who left, or the one you pushed away?

However the circumstances placed it...he was the one who got away and you know it. However you deny it, you know deep in your heart, someone lurks in there and keeps you wondering,how would have love fated? Would it have lasted,would it have ended as soon as it started?

You just know.

In the deep tresses of your heart, someone lives on. And though you try to hide to hide it, memories will keep reminding you.
