The One That Got Away

I hate the sentiment of "the one who got away." I find it particularly sad, for whatever reason. Especially when folks are still remembering things from years and years ago. "For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these: "it might have been."" Some truth to that.

 

Keats has a more optimistic twist on it:
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on"

"Bold lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal – yet, do not grieve:
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!"

 

said the person throwing around the word ''stalker'' in reference to me


how'd that work out for you?

I decided to send a card to my old flame....I will explain how all my photos were destroyed in the fires and how when mom passed away I found a stash of photos of Jodi and I would like to give her copies...which is all true btw....no sense lying at my age....the photos triggered the search online
