The one that got away

Some people only fall in love once in a lifetime

They say men get over it quickly

That they’ll just sleep over it,

Wake up the next morning,

And get right back on that horse

 

Funny!

I wonder where they get that from!

Because I could never want to be over you

I could never be able to be over you

Not even if I tried

 

You

The one that got away

The one that made my heart bounce

The one that made me smile when I was feeling low

The one that made me laugh when I was drenched in tears

You were the one that would always have my heart

 

For how then could I get over you!

How then could I be over you!

Not even if I tried, I could never forget you

 

When I look at other women, it is you I see

How beautiful they are!

How gorgeous they would be!

How amazing it would be to be with them!

 

But they aren’t you

For it is you I wanted

You that stole my heart forever

How then could I be over you!

 

Its not that I have anything against them

Its not that I think they aren’t good enough

Its just that by comparison, none of them compares

None of them comes even close

 

How then could I be over you!

How then could I ever stop missing you!

You were the only woman I ever loved

 

But you had your own agendas

You had your own pursuits

For it would only be selfish of me to ask you to give up your life

For me

For us

So we could be together

 

And for that

Reasons beyond our control

The demands of this world

The callings of this planet

We parted ways a long time ago

Perhaps never to see each other again

 

When I touch other women, it is you I touch

How then could I be over you!

How then could I allow myself to fall in love with another woman

 

So now all I ask is

Find me a man

To make me at home

To call my own

And make me one

 

Find me a man

To make me be over you

To comfort my sorrows

And heal the pain of missing you

 

So now all I want is

To find me a man

Who can be my strength when I’m weak

And be my guide when I can not see

 

 

Find me a man

To have and to hold

To be my rock

My love

My endurance

And ease the pain of missing you

 

Find me a man to be over you

 

But all the while I’m with him, I know I’ll be thinking of you

For how could I allow myself to fall in love with another woman!

 

All the while I’m with him, I know I’ll be wishing I was with you

For how could I allow myself to carry the lonely burden of missing you forever!

 

And so all I ask is

 

Find me a man

To have and to hold

To be my rock

My love

My endurance

And my hope

 

And just may be I’ll be over you some day

Perhaps

Just may be

Some day
