I’m taking a few days off to let some creativity flow. I should be back on Thursday. In the mean time, I’m going to be posting “The best of” posts. Or three posts anyway, that I particulary like the most thus far.
I hope you miss me, I know I’ll miss you. In the meantime, enjoy.
The one that got away….
Oh, in my story there are many. I was never a long timer in relationships. I think my longest was a year, and whew, that seemed like an eternity. I always tease Jimmy that he is my longest relationship.
I have the story that I think most girls have.
I’ve definitely had my heart broken. I’ve been hurt, lied to, misunderstood, unforgiven, broken up with for no reason, strung along…even cheated on by two different guys who I honestly never would have thought would hurt me that way.
But of course, not being perfect, I’ve broken a few hearts as well. Mostly because I was immature and not sure what it was I wanted or needed.
I was talking to one of my best friends about this whole “what if” thing….thanks to Jason (The Bachelor). And you know, after all is said and done, we came to the conclusion that the one who got away, is exactly that. Away. And most likely for a reason. Of course, and let me be clear, that reason is most certainly not me! Oh no, it’s so so him. He (and I use that in the plural form) is not in my life because he wasn’t the “one.”
The “one” will fight for you. He won’t let you go no matter what. He will cherish the sweet and thoughtful things you say and do. He will be honest with you. He will treat you better than you even think you deserve. He will love you despite your flaws, and he will forgive you for your many mistakes. He will laugh when you laugh, and he will wipe your tears when you cry. When things are really hard, he’ll be right there next to you, because he loves you. He will see you in the morning and hold your hair when you throw up. And he will still think you are the hottest thing he’s ever seen. Through the good and the bad, and even the really really bad….he won’t ever even think of leaving you. Even when you tell him you never want to cook him meals for dinner.
That “one” is the one that stays. That’s the one you keep. That’s the one that will never get away. And that’s how you are able to let the past be the past, and thank God every day for the “present” he’s given you.

Hey Summer… Enjoy your time away from blogging and get those creative juices flowing for Thursday! Just wanted you to know that I tagged you on my blog today.

I couldn’t agree more! And I’m going to actually go on vacation, so I’ll be gone now until after the 18th!
Absolutely…I know I’m with ‘the one’ except he runs away when I’m sick…there is no hair holding! He takes care of me in every other way when I’m sick though.
Enjoy the time off Summer! Hope those creative juices get flowing for you!
I needed to be hit upside the head with this post today. Being pregnant I have very crazy and vivid dreams and unfortunately, someone has been creeping back into my head. I need to just push them right back out. :o)
Have a good break and that was a great post.
I agree, let the past be past, because it’s just that…The Past!
That was awesome. The last couple of paragraphs were really very poignant. They would make some excellent wedding vows.
I am TOTALLY going to try to pass them off as my own words in some romantic spiel to my other half. Awwww, thanks or the plageristic inspiration!
Although.. I am now left wondering whether my sweetheart is really my ONE as he has a queasy stomach and I just don’t know if he could be in that close proximity to vomitting without loosing all lust for me.
Hmmmm. I will have to get drunk and see what I can do…..
Lovely blog. 🙂
so true! my “one” did everything you mentioned…the one that got away so didn’t!
i needed to hear this today… thanks for not letting me let them get away… and for not letting myself be the one who runs away.
