The one that got away

by Lyn Love and Hopes   Jul 17, 2023


As I stood there, I saw you too,
Our eyes met, and I knew
The sincerity in your gaze
Filled me with love, in a thousand ways
You gave me all your attention and care,
But I caused you pain, it's not fair
Now I realized, it's hard to say
You were the one who got away.

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I'm guessing a good few of us have that one who got away. The trick is learning from our mistakes and being ready to embrace love when we bump into it again.
    Well written, Lyn
