Topic: The one that got away... | |
---|---|
You hear it all the time, "The one that got away.." But what do you do if it happens to you? Do you risk it all to go after the one that truely loved you and you them? Or do you stay where you are, secured and alone. Can one really live their life knowingly letting that one person who closely resembles a "soulmate", if there is such a thing, walk out of their lives. Or does that person leave everythign behind to pursue their one chance in true emotional happiness?
Is it all worth the risk? |

I think it would have to be worth the risk cause if you don't take the chance your just going to wonder the rest of your life what could have been. Even if things don't turn out right with this person it's better off knowing that, then not knowing at all.

If they are your soul mate they would not have left. You are in love with an idealized love not a real person if you carry the torch for someone who did not love you back. It is a defensive mechanism to carry the torch because letting it go you have to admidt you are alone and work toward correcting the situation.

if they were really the one for you, they couldn't have gotten away because they would have been drawn to you not away from you. saying that something got away is implying that you had to struggle to hold onto it. anyone that you have to fight to hold onto isn't really yours.

The one who got away for me was the one woman I really think was "IT" for me, but I was married and raising four daughters at the time and took my responsibilities as a husband and father more importantly than going selfishly going after "the ONE". Years later, I still think of her often, but it's too late now, she moved on, and so have I.

If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, hunt it down and kill it. |

I went after "the one". We both got divorced to be together. Our kids are better for it.
Thru the good times & bad, she was the best thing that ever happened to me. Gwen died 12 yrs ago this May, still love & miss her EVERYDAY. "Nothing risked; Nothing GAINED" I married once for HONOR Second was for LOVE & worth ALL the trouble. |

Just because someone freaks doesn't mean they aren't the "one" .. geesh we have a lot worse case behaviors to worry about than that. It doesn't mean they don't love you. I have JUST had this happen to me, I know of what I speak. And they are back. Sometimes we don't know what we lost til it's gone. |

Not having a soul, I never even think about
"soulmates" |

People get scared at the seriousness sometimes, and in our case, he's been stationed somewhere where we can't be together.
He bolted. Because we WERE serious. But his feelings brought him back. |

There's too much drama and pain involved. |
