To my one that got away
At first, I can't believe that you chose to settle down with her. I even asked myself what's with her that I don't have. Honestly, I envy her coz she has you. She can hug and kiss you everytime she wants. She's the one who will grow old with you. Its been three months since you got married, yes freaking three months! I thought I already moved on and accept the fact that you're gone, that you're not coming back. But I'm wrong. I tried.. so hard.. :( But look, I keep on crawling back to you. My heart still wants you. There is a part of me that still waiting for you, hoping that one day you'll just knock on my door and tell me hey I'm back! I am lying if I'll say that I don't love you anymore coz hell no! I still love you unfortunately. I know its stupid and pathetic to stay inlove with you after all you'd done to me. Hello?! You just left and acted like we never existed. But ofcourse my heart is so stubborn and its still choose you. How can I unlove you? If my heart still beating for you. How I wish there is a unlove button inside my heart so that it'll stop beating. So that I'm not hurting and can peacefully sleep at night without dreaming of you. They said that in every life there is someone out there who is your biggest what ifs? The one who got away? But in another life you'll be given a second chance to make it right. Is it you? My one? Is this your purpose why you came into my life? Can we make it in our next life? Do we still have a second chance there? If that's the case maybe in another life, I can make you stay. So when that time comes, you won't be my one that got away.
You're not a "Plan B" kind of Girl
You deserve better than someone who is afraid to commit to you. It may seem like enough for now. You’re just taking things slow. Oh, how I know those little phrases of “one day” and “we just need time.“
You believe them.
And I’ve believed them.
But you’re not a plan B kind of girl.
You need to know that you’re not the invisible one standing in the back who gets chosen last.
You’re the girl who the team captain will be frantically hoping doesn’t get picked by someone else before he gets a turn. You’re a first-pick kind of girl. And no one worth having sits back and lets those girls wait around.
‘Cause every good man knows that the good ones get gone fast.
He should be jumping out of his skin in anticipation to call out your name and say “I pick you.”
“But he’s scared” “…and I’ve got commitment issues” “…and we don’t like labels.”
And. And. And.
Like a fool, I’ve stood there picking at the fabric of my sweater and spinning excuses. I’ve heard them all. I’ve used them all. “He’s been hurt.” “He’s busy.” “He’s in school.” “He doesn’t have a good car.” “He has Momma issues.” “His Dad left.” “His Great Aunt’s second cousin’s puppy just died.”
You’re not the kind of girl who needs to make excuses for him.
Good girls don’t have to finish last.
Honey, you must be at the wrong game and with the wrong players. Because you’re not a substitute, average, or second string.
You’re a catch. You are beautiful and funny and fabulous. Rooms light up when you walk in. Heads turn when you giggle and the earth itself adores the kiss of your feet.
You are worthy to be chosen, pursued, adored, loved, respected and informed. This whole “Do we really have to define this thing?” is almost always a delicate way of asking “Will you fill this lonely spot until I decide nothing better is coming along?”
Stop being afraid that you are not worthy enough to be claimed. Stop thinking “I’ll take what I can get. Maybe I will be enough for him one day. Maybe he will be enough for me.”
Don’t even consider the lie that says; “I can’t set my standards too high, because if I do, I might end up alone.”
Better to be alone than taken for granted. Better to be alone than to be a placeholder.
The one that loves you isn’t afraid to say it. If he loves you, he won’t even blink because the idea of giving another man the chance to swoop in is just unacceptable.
He’ll fight and use labels or poems or the Goodyear blimp to show you that you’re just the right fit for that open place in his heart. That no other piece will do.
You should be nobody’s second choice. And if you are, then they are just that; NOBODY.
He’ll lose his pride to tell you that you make him nervous and he’ll spend his heart to find what makes you laugh. He’ll tell you that you’re worth words and flowers and promises.
And you’ll believe him, because you’ll see it in the way he watches you walk across a room. You won’t have to question it by analyzing a text message or deciphering the tone of an e-mail. Because he’ll drive over on a Tuesday to bring you coffee and you’ll see it in his face and hear it in the way he asks about your day.
Your answer will lie in the memories of nervous beginnings and awkward introductions. You’ll know because the questions didn’t take long to fade. Because he said what he meantand meant what he said. And even when he messed up; he made up.
You’re not his back pocket plan, fill-in girl, or multiple choice answer. You are fierce and a force to be reckoned with and the kind of girl whose beauty calls for hand-written notes, words like “wow” and car rides to the ocean.
Take nothing else and be nothing less.
Be the kind of girl who deserves him and treats him with kindness. Who laughs at his jokes and thanks him when he opens your door. Leave the head games behind you. Encourage him and wear the kinds of dresses that make him respect you. Be the kind of girl who gasps at his surprises and hugs him for his compliments. Be worthy of the kind of man that you deserve and & the man that he was born to be.
