What I meant with “best” is that it was very very well written. Not the best that applies to what happened to you. Btw, thanks for sharing. :)

This is one of the best the-one-that-got-away stories I’ve heard / read. And can I just say how much I can relate. Oh gawd.

I’m pining away for my “one that got away” too. We dated only briefly — 20 years ago — and were separated through some bizarre circumstances. I’m married now and so is he, but I never felt with anyone what I felt with him. From the moment I met him, I felt like he was mine, like we belonged together, like I was melting into him. I love my husband now, but it’s a different kind of feeling.

I will always miss him. Sometimes the regret of it all is too much to bear.

I swear I have been going through the same thing! There was a guy who always seemed to be ready for a relationship when I wasnt and 3 years later when I had grown up a lot and wanted love, he wasnt available. I always run into him, and each time I thought that this was my one chance to finally be with this wonderful man, and each time I was left disappointed. Recently I found out he was married and then a week later I ran into him again. At first I thought these “run ins” were heaven sent, but maybe they were just run ins after all! Thank you for the insight you provided in your article!

The one who got away for me was my first love. I was a late bloomer(20 when we met) and he was my first “real” boyfriend. In terms of relationships he was light years ahead of me. He was not afraid to tell me his dreams or his innermost feelings. We had our problems but he was so good to me. I felt safe and loved with him. We eventually drifted apart;probably could have worked through it. But I was young and thought I would find someone just as good if not better. Many has been the day that I wished we had stayed together. But I’m glad that I met him first b/c he is the reason that I know that there are good brothers out there.

Love don’t make no sense! Joe and Gerald(RIP) sang it best, shoot! It just don’t make sense. But I LOVE IT SO MUCH!(Love Jones is my favorite of all times, that’s a tale of FULL CIRCLE, what about FULL CIRCLES)

I Wish he loved me, like the Tyneshia Kelli song, and that’s what Im going through!!!!

My first love was the one that got away. I met him on my second day in college just five days after turning 18 he was 20 and a junior. I was a late bloomer, I was never interested in relationships in high school. While others were dating I played sports and traveled. But nonetheless, he was an amazing man and everything I ever could have hoped for at that point in my life but he graduated from college and left me behind with a promise of marriage one day in the future, he proposed and I accepted. So I stayed in school on the east coast while he began his career on the west coast. Things were going great until one day he got into a car accident from there things got hard. He suffered severe brain damage and died 9 months later. Exactly one month after our birthday’s (we were 8 days apart) and our wedding date.
