The one who got away.

In our lives, we’ll remember a lot of people. One we shared something remarkable, those who will always mean something in our lives. We will forever remember the one we first kissed, the one we first loved, the one we first dance with, and the one who knocked on your gate at midnight or maybe the one who we were long with or the one who never meant to be with us that got away.

People getting away is inevitable. At one time everything is fine and perfect but sometimes at one mere moment, you are not meant to be together. It wasn’t anyone’s fault, there was no flaw in the spark or chemistry, but the kismet or fate just didn’t come down the right way. It will make you believe in destiny that lies the fact that finding someone to be with does not rely on the people involved. Sometimes, it’s just really in the matter of timing and a matter of being ready.

Being in a relationship is being ready to settle down and commit to someone that goes beyond the cheesy romances. I bet those who fall in love have already realized it or just too plain blind to realize. When you’re not ready to commit to someone, leaving the fact that it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it’s just not going to work out if it’s not the right time. Small problems get big, and arguments are all the same. Sometimes, we break our promises because in fact we aren’t ready. It’s not about the fact how you guys treat each other, but the fact of timing or rightness of a relationship.

Then one morning, you wake up and realize you’re ready. And when this happens, you’ll be geared up to settle down with someone. He/she might not be everything you wished for, they might not be the sun of your solar system, or the brightest falling star that ever came down to earth, but it’s going to work out for sure because you’re ready. Everything will start to make sense and you will find yourself to be a totally different person. You finally will understand who you really are because time has finally laid it’s cards on the table.

Believe me, no matter how perfect a relationship is, we can’t forget the one who got away. We will tend to think about them and ask questions “What if he/she is the one I’m with?” or “What if we’re together now, what could have happened?”. The one who got away will be our biggest “What if’s?”.

But we’re lucky if we realize it and it’s not yet too late. It’s not late if he/she still feels the same way towards you or if he/she isn’t committed. When we think we are ready already, we should start doing something about it. We must look for what our hearts really yearn and never let go again. Because the very existence of that one who got away means that we’ll always wonder what could have happened if he/she didn’t get away. If the timing is finally right, everything will fall into place and it would be an amazing feeling.
