The one that got away

We lose people.
People are meant to come into our life then leave without telling you before hand.
People don't stay forever. No one does.
But people leave to make space for new people. For new experiences. For new memories to be made.
But honestly, many of us don't want to lose some. We want them to stay with us forever. We want the memories to continue like an endless storybook. But that never happens now does it? A small thing but screw the whole relationship between two people. Something built from months, or even years, can all be destroyed within seconds.
When we lose people, we suddenly feel lost inside. We don't know what to do. Life's suddenly a mystery, it's suddenly worthless, there's suddenly no meaning to it. It's like everything you ever had, your happiness, your future.. All gone. Disappeared and vanished into the depths of the earth.
We say we're fine, we act like we're happy but deep down inside, it hurts so much more. To see someone you used to love, be happy with someone else. It feels like everything's over. Our feelings feel played, cheated on. We feel alone, sad, hated by the world. Then we all go back and think of the past. How nice it would be if we could rewind time and change things. Keep the promises made, cherish all the memories.
We all miss at least someone. Someone special in our hearts that can never be replaced. Someone who's position in our heart can never go down one level. None of us are what we seem. Deep down inside, we're all different people.
But think about it... What's done is done isn't it? What can we do to salvage it? It's all over now. This burden will forever stay in your heart and you can't do anything to remove it, no matter how hard you try. Life isn't a fairy tale, you can't read it then stop whenever you like. No, life doesn't work that way. Neither does love. Get through the whole thing, even if it ends with a horrible ending. You'll get through it, take it as a life experience. Because you know what? Shit happens, to everyone. And we can't do anything to change the past. It's our own fault for not doing what you should have done and now you pay the price for your mistakes. But sometimes, you get hurt in the process, deeply, emotionally hurt and sometimes it hurts too much to stand up and carry on with life. We all wish we had another life, to make amends, to start over, to have a new beginning. To avoid doing the mistakes that we did.
You can. You can have a new life.
Meet new people. New friends. New love.
There's a new beginning for you.
What matters most, is if you believe in yourself.
Believe that new people can give you a new beginning.
Think of yourself as a new person.
No one's going to stick by you forever, no matter how many promises they make, Everyone's going to eventually leave you one day. You remember that time your first love said, "I'll love you forever?" He lied. I'm sure you've said that to someone before and lied. See, you're not the only victim in the world. Everyone's the bad person at some point of time. We've lied, cheated, trashed, but it's human nature.
So start anew. Even if it hurts so much that it almost kills, take that pain all in and start anew.
You know how people said that there's no such thing as a second chance in life?
Well, now I tell you that, there is always a second chance to everything. Yes, even life.
But it all depends on you. If you believe in yourself, whether you can pull through.
Remember how you regretted not telling people how much you cherished them?
Remember how you didn't thank your best friend for standing by your side through everything?
Remember how you didn't confess to your crush that you had strong feelings for her/him?
Remember how you didn't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend your true feelings?
You can do all that now. With new people. If you've read this post all the way till here, good job to you. Give yourself a pat on the back. You can do all that now, because you've got a new beginning. Like another life. Do whatever you never dared to do before. Because now, you've got a second chance. You've got a new life. It's time to take risks and live life to its fullest.
But what's most important in this second life of yours?
You need to do what you were afraid to do before.
Because third chances aren't that easy.
Now, you have a chance to be someone's everything.
And cherish the person you love the most now, so you won't have a chance to call them
"The one that got away."

                                                                                          Never planned that one day, I'd be losing you.


Now I've learnt, that nothing lasts, and no one stays.. forever. Because everyone's a liar.
