In the context of, “I’m so bored… at wala NANAMAN akong issues,” I shall write today about that really sucky concept we call, “The one that got away.”
A majority of the men and women in this paawa sad world will, without batting their eyelashes, tell you that they have it. The person whom they think will be the perfect guy / girl for their very own fairytale, the person whom they consider to have loved most but didn’t end up staying, the selfish, cruel, manhid, stupid person who cannot seem to figure it out as described in a novel written by the person who was left behind. This person plays different roles, from the best friend, to the Romeo-ish acquaintance whom your family / barkada hates, to the bad guy whom you claim to have a soft side that only you can tap into, to that guy whom you would have wanted to hook up with if only he did not date your sister/best friend/friend/ sorority sister/ cousin/ boss / officemate first.
Bottom line, you wouldn’t want a prisoner for a lover. When you love, you offer a part of you, or maybe the whole of who you are. It is consummated by a meeting of the hearts. That’s just it, a simple yes or no. There is nothing in between. Believe me, I have been through this “the one that got away” boat for too long and if there is one thing I learned, it would be that, “An escape is always voluntary.” If a person got away, it just means that he chose to get away. More importantly, the person chose to get away from you.
So, shake it off and never ever look back. Let the one that got away - get away. Keep in mind that you are worth being still with. For someone, you are worth staying and waiting for.
