I go on dates, I get serious with others, but they aren't you. I meet incredible souls who I'd be lucky to share mine with, but they aren't you. You're happy with someone, and I know I can't have you. With the time that's passed , and the steps I've made, I still can't be rid of you. What have you done? Why are my dreams of your incredible being also nightmares reminding me I can never have you? Why can't I break away from the thought of your smile? Your laugh echoes in my mind. The memory of you soothes my soul, yet keeps my heart in a pattern of manic wonder. They say it's better to have love and lost . I don't agree. Losing you haunts me constantly. I wish I never knew you. Not out of hate, but out of fear I may never move on. You were the one who got away, and in my heart, the one who will always stay.
