Who was your "one that got away"?

Question

Ladies and gentleman... if you'd like to share your story, who was that person you wish you didn't let go of? And CONCISELY, how long ago did your relationship end?

I mean "gentlemen"... LOL

Answer 1

16 years ago I let the man of my dreams get away. I was 20 he was 27. I still think of hI'm and wonder what he is doing and if he ever got over me, because i never got over him. I am now in a relationship, that has lasted almost 10 years, and i love the guy im with, but, if G.L.R. ever came back, I would probably let him get away again. I am still very much in love with that guy, but who know what kinda of person he turned out to be, so I dont dwell. Wish I would have held on, but i didn't. But now im in love with my guy now, so what can you do.

Answer 2

This guy and I had a great connection and he was always asking me to hang out, flirted like crazy...asked me for my number and to go out and I didn't see it, and then he had to move away....and now I wonder what might have been?

This was 2 months ago :(

Here's a good song by the Rascal Flatts that pretty much sums it up:

In a book in a box in the closet
In a line in a song I once heard
In a moment on a front porch late one June
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

There it was at the tip of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my tongue
There you were and I had never been that far
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

And I let it all slip away –

Chorus
What do I do now that you’re gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn’t say

There’s a rain that’ll never stop falling
There’s a wall that I’ve tried to take down
What I should’ve said just wouldn’t pass my lips
So I held back and now we’ve come to this

And it’s too late now –

Are the words I couldn’t say
I should have found a way to tell you how I felt
Now the only one I’m tellin’ is myself

What do I do, what do I say
And no else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn’t say

Answer 3

Well, I'm not going to go all into it... you can find the story in my resolved question: "Should I Follow My Heart Or Let Go". The relationship ended in 2001. He was the love of my life... the best thing that ever happened to me. And without a doubt, letting him go was the biggest mistake I ever made.

Answer 4

A soldier... I was 20 and he was 26 and we dated for about two years. I wanted to travel and work abroad and I broke up with him. That was stupid. I got to live abroad and work for two years and I thought we'd get back together, but during my two years away he got another girl pregnant... That was about 10 years ago and now he's married with two kids... I married someone else and we got divorced. I wanted to marry him but I didn't want to marry so young. Well, at least I got the career I wanted, if not the husband. I still think about him alot.

Answer 5

It was years ago; I was entirely too restless; he was too kind. I was into the 'bad boy' thing, which of course led to no where. I remember his glowing smile and tender kisses....I hope he remembers me with a positive thought,,,,certain songs still make me think of that man. I always heard "You can never go home" ,
but now I know what it means. Patrick is his name, Good night sweet Prince ,,,forgive me.

Answer 6

The one that got away....let go of me....I kept swimming & swimming around in my tears but he did not come to save me. A week ago I circled his house just to see if he was still alive...when I realized he is living his life w/o me, i saved myself from drowning....it's hard but...I even wished i had his baby or something to tie me to him but nothing!! I am going to pass by his work when I m looking pretty hot..go to the places that we went to eat/shop etc...yea i went crazy over this guy...and it just ended Thanksgiving, but I finally let go New Years day....but he is deep inside my heart, I can't believe he let me go...now I am analyzing everything i ever said or did or wore etc..
it's rough..missing what's gone.

Answer 7

I have one, but I guess he didn't totally get away...after 20 years we still are the best of friends. I absolutely love his girlfriend and feel he should marry her. They have one child together and I feel she gives him the support he needs. Sure he was (and still is) a great guy, but we weren't great together. For the most part we did get along but other conflicts set us apart. I do believe that fate has handed me another soul mate to just keep me in check. This time I'm hanging on!!!

Answer 8

At 13 and I still hold a burning flame for him, but I haven't had any contact with him since I was 16. It was my 1st Love.

Answer 9

i lost her 1 1/2 years ago and we got back together 4 months ago and im so glad i found he again

Answer 10

The rich VP of marketing who unfortunately lives out of state.
:( Miss him sometimes.

But...then there's the tall clubber with all those tatoos.

Hmmm..I guess I can't answer this question.
