TO THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY
To the one who got away
Although that would be a misnomer
Because you were never here
Well…
Not fully
I always knew you would not stay for long
Did I?
I may have held on to the hope that somehow you would stay
I still think of you and smile
It was such a good sport
This thing we had
The way we found each other
The way we gravitated towards each other
The little “butterfly in my tummy” moments…
We were bound to fall the way we did
Hard, fast, reckless…
Cute as hell
Two years earlier and you would have been mine
Right?
Or were you always meant to be hers?
Was I always meant to just be a part of your story? Yours and hers?
Is there any lifetime where you become solely mine?
I would like to visit that lifetime to see if she’s as happy as I think she would be…
We found each other during the pandemic
We formed the most beautiful bond
And although we were miles apart
We woke up to each other every morning
The world around us may have been crumpling down
But our fairytale bubble of love blossomed even more
Our story may have ended
And you now fully belong to another
But there’s nothing to mourn here
Just beautiful memories
Memories that bring smiles to the face and warmth to the heart
No heartaches
No regrets
Just a beautiful goodbye
