The One That Got Away

You will always be the one that got away..

We practically grew up together, always been there for one an other, I called you sister, and you called me brother, we shared everything, we laughed, we sang, we even played jokes on the neighbors hehe remember that? we did a lot of things together as we grew, You always had my back as you had mine, we used to stay at each other's houses like a married couple, but we were not, we used to make fun of the people that used to get married, because we didn't know what it meant, we were too young.

Days, months, Years have passed and we were always together, and in the process, i grew fond of you.. and finally opened my eyes and came to realize that the married couple we used to make fun of, are just living it in happiness..

I was lost and confused with these new emotions towards you, these.. these new feelings that I was feeling for you!

But

Never had the chance or the guts to speak of the feelings that I had, I was.. too afraid i guess..i dunno I guess i was just afraid of losing you and what would others say or think..

I really wanted to speak the truth, and tell you how i really felt..

Then tragedy had hit..  hospitalized in a coma for weeks, no months.. was dying and you never really got to hear what I wanted to tell you..

Woke up from the long sleep not remembering anything, they said that i have lost my memory but all I could remember was you..

After the longest time of struggle, I've managed to regain the memory I have lost, but came to realize I lost you..

You were married and with a kid and I was really happy for you but also sad, that I was never the one who put the ring on your finger..

Every time i see you now I only feel regret.. regret of not telling you of how i Really felt..

Always wondering and questioning myself

What could have happened if I actually spoke..

I have always wanted to call you mine..

I guess that call now, is just out of reach..

Quite a heart tugging piece. I guess it happens to many people in the world (apart from the coma bit)
But their there is another lesson to be learnt from this. Life is not a dreas reheraal, you only get one chance. Grab it, take it, throttle the life out of it.

Believe it or not it actually happened with the coma bit, but yea your right, chances should have been taken but whats gone is gone.

[matrixmark]

Sorry to hear about the coma - wouldnt wish that on anybody.
You are right, when its gone, its gone. But we learn and our grip gets tighter.

[Joey Nizz]

Its alright, its all in the past now.
And yeah we don learn to avoid the mistakes made or the chances that were lost, to fix or grab them again.

[matrixmark]

Very true.

Mark.

[Joey Nizz]

we learn* sorry just noticed it

[matrixmark]

Mark.

[Word Girl]

Oh.. So sorry.
Is that real?
So so sorry!
Hey, If you're still shaken, Try breathing in an ointment of rasberry leaf and grape juice every night.
No, I am not crazy. Just an apothecary.
It will calm you down, I swear.

[Joey Nizz]

Its ok..
And yea it was, its been years now but still..
and thanks for your help o really appreciate it, ill try the ointment you recommended, thank you very much.

If we are loving someone we should have guts to say that we love them. Otherwise after loosing them we will cry in vain.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece of work

[Joey Nizz]

Your right and i agree, we will end up lost and always thinking of what could've happened if we actually did say something.

Thanks for reviewing.
