The one that got away
Source: The Manila Times, Mark J. Macapagal
In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you
shared something special, ones who will always mean something.
There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost
your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and
the one that got away.
Who is the one that got away?
I guess it's that person with who everything
was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong.
There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but
the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact
that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not
lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or
maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to
do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that
goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone
through it without even realizing it?
When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter
who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big;
inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it
shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just
that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that
fact.
Then one day you're ready.
You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with
someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the
brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work
because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll
make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will. So that day comes when
you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a
different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you
finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready
because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when
this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term
relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All
you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got
away, is the first person you think about. You'll think about them because
you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder,
"What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?"
That's what the one that got away is.
The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life.
If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that
got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your
marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature
enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is
just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your
marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so
often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been,"
but it happens. Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already
married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and
know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little
smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.
But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if
it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her.Because the very
existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if
you got that one? Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't
matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you
just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your
"the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't
make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into
place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in
the end, to be able to say to someone,
"Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

Little Things
Too often we don't realize
what we have until it's gone.
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts.
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds.
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind.
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you.
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got.
And be thankful for the Little things in life...
that truly mean a lot.
