The One That Got Away

Write a love letter to the one that got away

Baby,

Please give me another shot to make it right. I should never have let you go and I do not know what to do without you. We had some of the best times ever and I do not think its possible to move on without you. This past summer, meeting you at the beach was amazing and you leaving without me getting to say goodbye was not fair. Each time we kissed and got to lay out on the beach watching the sunset and sunrise, it was magic.
Every time I saw you it made my heartbeat pick up and the adventures we took, you can’t recreate them. Watching you dance on the floor and all the guys watching but I got to say “she’s mine”. Waking up in the morning with you cooking breakfast in one of my t-shirts and nothing else on. The perfect picture. Please come back to me, because it wasn’t time for us to leave each other. We can make it work, we just have to try.

Always Yours,
Zach

I do not know if this really works, but it will have to do. Writing to someone that got away doesn’t make much sense, unless they contact you first.

What She Said…

Just when I knew what she would say next…

Just when I knew what she would say next, she completely went against everything.  We had not spoke in awhile and just randomly happened to run into each other at a bar one night.  It wasn’t as awkward as I thought it would be but at the same time it was something that I definitely was not expecting.  Sometimes you need to prep yourself for things like that and I was obviously not prepped for seeing her and even more lost when she looked at me and said, “I miss you.”  It had been 6 months since I saw her last, and that is what she wants to say to me?! Not a “hey, how are you.” Or even just a “hello.” She just went straight for the throat and put it all out there, in a way.

I had tried to live my own life and start a new beginning but in the back of my mind I always wondered what she was doing with hers.  Who she had been seeing, how her job was going, you know, just the simple things in life.  I had also wondered if she had thought about me at all.  If she wondered the same things that I did.  And with three words I knew she had been, maybe even more than I.  As she said those words, she just gave me a start of confusion like, “why did I just say that? What reaction is he going to give me?”  And I honestly did not know what reaction to give.  Of course I had missed her, we dated for 2 years at the end of college and it was an amazing time until we parted ways, but did I miss her enough to give her the reaction that she wanted.  Did I want to say “I have missed you too.”?  Or did I want to just walk away and see if she would say it again to me?  I took the second road and turned and walked back to my friends, and she did exactly what I expected.  Except this time she grabbed my arm and pulled me back toward her.  As I spun around I could see the tears in her eyes and she said the same thing once more

“I miss you.”
