Though I've never really had you, you will always be the one that got away. My friend, my middle school crush, my favorite kiss, my first "valentine", someone I could always count on. We've drifted apart and come back together many times and not all of those times were easy. But I never truely lost my feelings for you. That middle school crush only grew. Our timing was always off and the world never did quite work in our favor. So here I am still in love with you wishing I had found a way to make it happen. Wondering a constant "what  if?" It hurts to not have you sometimes. You're living a completely different life and engaged to someone. And I'm still here in love with a man I can't have. A man who told me I will always have a piece of his heart just as he will mine. A man who admitted he feels the same way I do but it's too late. It's rough but you are my one that got away and I'll always love you.
