The One That Got Away

As Valentine's is coming in a couple of days, I remember the one that got away. Life now for her is special, she has a family with a good husband and with their baby. Knowing the guy, I know she would be in good hands. Thankfully, she is. I'm happy for her, even now we don't talk at all, I wish she'll always be happy. It's been 20 years and still remember the days (or nights) that we we're talking over the phone.

It may be a secret to me and my bestfriend that was your boyfriend then and you of how we are spending the nights in our homes, probably sofa and talking for three hours. Those were the days that I wished I told you that I love you. Those were the days that I wished when you broke up with my bestfriend, I had the courage to tell you that I love you. But I was scared of losing a good friend (or an even better friend).

Years passed and I still remember those days that we laughed all night, days that we just talk about what happened in our daily lives, when we will only stop to eat and call back to talk again. I still remember the time you called in my shock (with my heart thumping). I still remember how we wanted each other to put down the phone down first when we wanted to say goodbye. I still remember that we waited for a few seconds after our final goodbyes would still pick up the phone and the other one is still on the line.

I still remember the day that we were on the field and sat their with your friends and me... the only one not in your class having a great time just to be with you. Wishing that one day I could tell you how I felt about you. I still remember the gift you gave me and I still remember how I wish I could be the one beside you other than the boy you're with at that time.

And I still remember, when I finally told you. And at that moment, I knew I made the biggest mistake of my life, because from that day you never wanted to talk to me again. From that day, I wished I could have taken back what I said and just stay friends with you, without you knowing how I truly feel. I still remember the heartache, the broken heart. I just wish just to be friends now, because now you are happy with your own family.

You may not read this and you will not know about this. But you are the one that got away. Every call, every moment, I wish I could turn back the time. So, I can meet you once again and tell you how I felt about you.
