Stop Chasing After The One Who Got Away

Jakob Owens

Maybe you werent meant for forever.

Maybe the short time that you spend together was enough.

They got away before you were able to develop a full picture of them in your mind.

All you have are snapshots, tiny moments where you saw the most flattering sides of them.

Maybe the reason why you miss them so much is because they werent around during your lowest moments.

The memories youre keeping close are the best ones.

Theyre the ones that remind you how much you lost when they walked away.

Maybe the person youre remembering isnt exactly a person at all.

Maybe their image is fuzzy at the edges and you cant even tell.

Or maybe youre remembering them right, but theyve changed, grown into someone you wouldnt be comfortable dating.

Maybe there was a time when you both knew each other intimately, but that time has gone.

Youre not the same person you were when you first loved them.

Maybe the same is true for them.

You dont want to spend all your time wishing things were different.

You dont want to regret the choices that brought you to today.

Maybe seeing them again would reignite all those old feelings within you.

Or maybe you would realize you were wrong.

Maybe you would remember you two fell apart for a reason.

Maybe it wasnt only fate or bad timing or horrible luck.

Maybe it simply made more sense to part ways.

Or maybe thats not true.

Maybe youll be reunited in the end.

Maybe both of your worlds will come crashing back together eventually.

Maybe their title asthe one who got awayis another thing thats only temporary.
