Urban Dictionary defines unrequited love as "the feeling of being completely, hopelessly, desperately in love with someone, all the while knowing that your feelings will never reach them"; to some of us, we define unrequited love as a person from our past.
"The one that got away" is the person you could've ended up with, but you let them go or they slipped away beyond your control. I bet someone just popped into your mind. Maybe you loved them or maybe you're haunted by the unfinished business of your past relationship. Humans desire closure and the idea of what could of been will haunt you.
An unknown genius, or maybe the man or women I owe many restless nights to, said "what's meant to be will always find it's way back." So, what am I, a teenage girl that jumps to conclusions, supposed to think when an ex "lover" texts me out of the blue. Is it fate dragging us back together, or am I a way to kill some time?
Some will say that if he comes back, you're lucky. It's possible he came back and changed; people change and people learn. Timing is a b*tch; maybe you got it right this time.
If he comes back, you may be pretty unlucky. We all have "that person" that we will fall back into no matter what. There's no strong or dominant way to be vulnerable. You'll be like water running through their fingers; it's okay to let yourself feel.
Second times the charm (actually it's third, but lets not get there). Do second chances at a first time exist? After losing trust, or just losing connection, can you really start completely over? The answer is a soft no; you can try but it's nearing impossible. You'll be up at three in the morning waiting for a text back and get a flashback to months ago when that was the last time you responded.
The one that got away will have a soft spot in your heart, or an aching tear that won't heal - analogy is up to you. Whatever you decide to do, be gentle, love, and breathe. I don't know a lot about sports, but if you're on the sidelines cheering for someone that isn't even playing for you, something isn't right. When someone is more invested then you are, it's time to let go. The difficult process of letting someone go only to hope they come back is a vicious cycle we are destined to have - thanks Earth! The hardest thing we will ever have to do is bear the loss of someone that is still alive. How do you expect me to grieve about losing someone but still see them?
Sometimes people come into our life and right then and there we know we will never be able to replace them; this is why we hold onto the one that got away.
