The One that Got Away -> just wanna share this article =)

[SeeSunny]

nakakaiyak naman to. Romantic pero parang sa mga books and movies lang ata to, or kung sa totoong buhay naman, baka sa napaka onting tao lang.

This article while listening to John Legend's All of Me almost kills me. Painful.

Im currently in a relationship now. Almost 3 years. Pero OMG nasaktan ako sa article. I guess alam ko na from the start na my guy before my current bf will be my "the one that got away".

Masaya ako sa relationship ko ngayon. Sobrang stable. Yung the one that got away ko kasi ay di pa masyado stable emotionally. May what ifs pa rin ako. Hehe. Oh well. 20 years old pa lang naman ako. We'll see what's in store for us sa future. If there's any.

[ieiky]

^ Awww.. Happy for you.

Si current ex ko ang the one that got a way ko siguro. Pero hindi ako ang the one that got a way niya. hahaha! I;ve been bad to him. And I know hindi nag work out yung sa amin because of me. Hindi pa kase ako ok as a person nung naging kami. I'm so emtionally unstable. Had it be the time na ok pa ako at walang masyadong complications ang life ko, maybe just maybe, kami talaga.  Pero what is meant to happen will always happen. Hindi lang siguro kami para sa isa't isa.

Post lang ako dito to express my feelings related to "the one that got away." I've been posting a few of my sad love stories on GT and sad to say that I'm posting another one. I posted a few years ago about a love story I had way back in 2001 when I was still a teenager and in love. I call him my "greatest love", the one I wanted to spend my whole life with, the one I would have married. We got engaged when I was 18 and he was 25. The plan was a few years of engagement and when everything was in its right place, we'd tie the knot. But we drifted apart because of my dad. For 10 years after the breakup, I longed for him and hoped that he would come back. It was insane, but I never lost that hope. It was the kind of love you couldn't easily forget. I entered several relationships after ours ended, some short-term, a couple were long-term, but I never wanted to get married. I only wanted him. I was looking for someone who could change my mind and believe in marriage again, even if it wasn't with him. I was too stupid to hold on to that love. In 2012, after more than 10 years, I decided to end my stupidity. I realized I was being unfair to everyone, including myself.

That same year, he came back; not really came back to me specifically, but we met again in a very odd way. And then I was hit, got confused, got mad and had almost gone crazy when he said he wanted me back. But I was in a relationship at that time. So I spent days making a decision, whether I would give in to the old love I had always wanted or stay with the person I love and loves me just the same. I chose the latter, and for the second time, I watched him drift away from me. It was heartbreaking but fulfilling at the same time. I knew I made the right decision.

After 2 years, the relationship I chose ended. I was duped. It was too painful that I can't explain how it felt. I was left behind and replaced in an instant. My world shattered. What was more devastating was the thought that I let go of the one whom I thought was my "greatest love" for that person. Not that I regret it. I just realized that I must have loved this person so much that I chose him over the one that got away, when I dreamed of that person for a decade.

Just recently, I just found out from a friend that my greatest love is married now and that he considers me as the one that got away. I smiled, with a little pang inside me, thinking how we ended up as such for each other.

I feel sorry for you sis. Maybe the two of you were not meant to be. 10 years ka naghintay then bigla siyang sulpot?!..

Post modified. Please refrain from quoting long posts.

^Oo sis, pero not really sumulpot "for me". Accidentally, nakita nya ko nakatayo sa gilid ng edsa. Haha! I was waiting for a cab when his car passed by. Tumigil sya nun, binaba nya yun window tapos di ko sya mamukaan kasi I wasn't wearing my eyeglasses nun. Nun nagsalita lang sya, tsaka ko lang narealize na sya. Madilim din kasi gabi yun. Di naman ako sumakay sa car nya kasi nakakuha na din ako cab. Ang ginawa nya after that incident was hinanap yun college friend ko na naging friend nya nun kami pa. Dun sya nagapatulong to find his way back to me. Di ko sya kinakausap nun eh kasi I was in a relationship. Pero sinabi ko naman sa kanya and he respected it. So ayun umalis na ulit sa buhay ko. Haha! Haay.

[lester0927]

wow ha for all of the places pa sa edsa pa talaga! haha! and to think nakita ka nya agad kahit madilim? ibig sabihin hindi nya nakalimutan itsura mo.  ano naman nafeel mo bigla mo siyang nakita?!

[pumpkin13]

^Ang nafeel ko sis, sobrang disbelief. Para kong nakakita ng multo. Nanlamig ako, nangatog ako literally. Yun response ko sa kanya nun nagtanong sya if I needed a ride, sobrang nanginginig. Nakakawala sa sarili. And nun nasa taxi na ko, parang gusto ko kausapin si manong driver and ikwento sa kanya lahat before pa ko mabaliw. Pero napigilan ko naman. Hahaha!

the one that got away is my bestfriend.

I came across to this topic so might as well share my "the one that got away" story.

"...Who is the one that got away? I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose. "

Timing.
He died last July 31, 2014. Everything was perfect. 4 years kami strong relationship. my friends would even say na we're one of so called perfect relationship. we barely fight. whenever we had one, laging may mag gigive way. I think that's the secret. and then bam! I had to live without him. I remember sa movie it's like we're meant for each but we have different schedule and he had to go before me. Sabe din ng friend niya, ako yung nakatadhana para sa kanya pero baka lang may ibang nakatadhana para sa akin. Sabe naman ng friend ko sobrang bait niya na siya ang naggive way kasi may ibang nakatadhana para saken.

I think my One That Got Away was my classmate in senior high. He told one of my barkada na crush nya ko but he's got this on/off relationship with someone tapos ako naman super busy with school and extra curricular activities so I never entertained any suitor. I am very frustrated na hindi nagkaron ng chance na maging kami and hindi na kami nagkita ulit after graduation.

For my first two years in college, umaasa pa rin akong sya ang magiging first bf ko. Since magkalapit lang yung naging universities namin, I want to shout his name whenever I pass by his school thinking that it could be the only way to see him again. I was always hoping to bump into him someday. Nung matatapos na yung second year namin sa college, my friends who knew the story told me to wake up from my stupid fantasy na sya yung magiging first date, first kiss and everything ko kaya nag entertain na ko ng mga manliligaw. After 6 years, I received a call from him finally asking me out but it was too late, I'm with someone else na and I just couldn't drop my bf for some lost young love.

Hanggang ngayon naiisip ko pa rin sya and I sometimes wonder how it feels like to be hugged and kissed by him. I guess we were never meant to be together talaga.

my the one that got away guy... hanggang ngayon di ako makamove on na hindi kame pwede, both in a relationship kame different partners. mali, yes! unfair kame, yes! pero hindi ko din alam, bakit hindi ko mapigilan.

[awesomemaia]

At the age of 25 finally had my first love, first bf and so many first but still di pa din nasuko ang bataan! Ibang usapan na yan.. Ok na ang first love. I thought being one sided lover way back 2013 yun na ang love or first love! I was wrong!! I felt and had my first love anf first kiss, hug, holding hands etc recently! Its so amazing that really God is good! He gave me the one that I prayed for but there is a bIG BUT! We do not have the same faith and he fought for that he chose his faith than me.. Nakakahinayang kasi he never hurt me siguro sa ganitong usapin lang pero cheating? None! As in walang mga ganyang issue. I wish he comes back. He promise me he will but part of me doesnt want to hope kasi baka mas masakit lang pag talaga pinilit . I am just positive na God instore greater things for me.. I still believe na God will make a way if kami talaga. Were very emotional about this pero natapos din.. Parang di namin kakayanin pero kakayanin din. Sa una lang talaga sobrang hirap at sakit kasi nga nasanay ka andyan lang siya. Langit at lupa ang peg namin pero dahil sa tiyaga niya ako nabigjani. He loves my smile and everything about me. Si Lord nalang nakakaalam ng totoong ending namin.. There still hope and a better future.. I hope that he is not my TOTGA... Please Lord! Hes my future! Amen!! 😊😊😊
