"He was everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending"
- My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne
Some of us have an almost love story, almost there but didn't happen. He may not be an ex-boyfriend, just an ex-something or an ex-someone, someone you've met and moved your heart.
We wonder if it was really love, or just an infatuation, or a fling. There is no exact rule, timeline, and situation that defines love.No matter if it is a one-sided, friendzone, or unrequited love; it was still love. And it doesn't have to be in a relationship for a girl to get broken. Even if you were never in a relationship, you have experienced how it was to fall in love, get your hopes up, and feel somewhat loved only to be left hanging and get hurt in the end.
To you, he was an almost. The one who was almost your one true love. But to him, you were an almost. The one who was almost good enough. It was almost and then it wasn't.
You thought they cared about you. At least as much as you cared about him. You wanted everything to mean something - to them as much as it did to you. You wanted to believe that at some point they liked you, that they wanted you, and that this could be love.It hurts knowing that you were not on the same page, or wondering if there was any point you were.
Truth be told, it is hardest to move on from a person who was never yours. There will always be the what if's.And you keep asking yourself, "Was I too much or was I never enough?"
Unfortunately, he didn't see your situation the same way that you saw it. And he never intended to commit. Even if you try harder, he will not commit. That leaves you with only one choice but to move on.
Moving on should not be confined to relationship. We could fall in and out of love with a person regardless if he was your boyfriend or not. It's normal to feel sad, disappointed, and broken for a while because when you love, you don't ask if it is right or wrong. You just love.
But the only way to move forward is to choose to put yourself first.Live a life that you love and let go of the things that make you sad.The best way to move forward is to love yourself. And when you focus on moving forward, you will be in a better place to attract a happy and fulfilling relationship.
You deserve it, girl. You deserve to move on from an almost love story.
