The one that got Away

Maybe someday I will look back and tell this tale

of a precious girl the most beautiful person you can imagine

breath-taking, pretty inside and out

this one girl is the one that got away.

I should have known from the beginning

things like that don’t happen in real life only in fairy tales

The princess doesn’t go for the frog

she’s always waiting for the prince to sweep her off her feet

 And it’s true what they say

nice guys always finish last

but I rather finish last than pretend being someone that I’m not

And so I’m still

here thinking about the one that got way…

Maybe I never said what she wanted to hear

maybe I said something wrong

All I know is that in her eyes it was never meant to be

The one that got away will always have a special place

I did everything I could, things that I said I never would

but nothing seemed to change her mind.

At least I could look back days, months or years from now

and say that I tried, I really, really tried

but I just couldn’t make it work

 I don’t regret anything I said

or anything that I did, I meant every single word

it still didn’t matter she still got away.

Maybe someday I will tell my kids not to give up

to keep trying, to reach for the stars

maybe their dream will come true

even if mine didn’t

I will tell them to love like if there was no tomorrow

to live like if it was their last day

and so when they are older

they will not wonder of the past

and the things that could of been

regretting things that they didn’t do

and think about the one that got away just like me.

Because I will always remember that imperfectly perfect girl that got away…
