The One That Got Away
Dear "The One That Got Away",
How have you been lately?? We don't really talk like we used to... I remember when we would talk every day & you would call me every night. I remember how you used to sing to me on the phone & the way you made me smile so long that my face would hurt. I used to think of you every time I was sad & it would wipe the tears from my eyes. Isn't that ridiculous?? I've never felt like that -- like a silly kid in love. I didn't even know that a cynic such as myself could experience feelings of euphoria. It was so hopeless. 300+ miles apart, we never had a chance... but you're the one that got away. The only one that could give me what I needed & what I wanted. You were so cheesy, sweet & romantic. You had your silly way of expressing your feelings that melted all the ice encasing my heart. The idea of you & me is just so... picture perfect. You're the fairy tale ending I never had the chance to live out. When you held me in your arms I felt invincible &, dare I say it, infinite. It's the moments of perfection we shared that haunt my dreams at night. In my dreams I can still feel your warm embrace, the sweet softness of your lips. You'll always be my knight in shining armor, & I'll always be waiting here waiting for you to sweep me off my feet once again.
Yours Always,
Patricia Mae
