April 30, 2007 1:07am CST
Do you ever think of someone every now and then? Someone who could be this, who could be that. Someone who could have been with you now, someone you could have been holding in your arms now, someone who should have been the one... the one who got away.... I have someone in my mind. But I rather not divulge on his identity but rather on what has been in my thoughts lately. Yup, him, the one who got away. My first love, my first boyfriend, the one I let go for reasons way beyond explaining..... Oh gosh! this is so mellodramatic! Anyway, what about you? Do you have this thoughts sometimes? Do you ever think of someone who got away? Your thoughts are highly appreciated.. Thanks..

Yes, i often think of my last boyfriend. All the wonderful times we had together. I honestly thought he was going to be with me forever. I loved him very much. it was devastating when he left me. I cried for days. That was almost a year ago. I am over him now but once in a while i think of him. I miss the fact that he called me beautiful. *sigh* Oh well i think most people do have one who got away.

Well for me, i was never in a relationship with the guy who comes into my mind once in awhile, but we are still friends but we found out to late that we like eachother. I was 7 months pregnant when we had first met, and we become friends then he moved away, We still keep in touch through e-mail or the odd call, but i sometimes wish i would have spoken up to him when i had the chance. Maybe I just have the "wonder what my life would have been like if.."

Exactly! You're right! I also wonder what my life could have been if I never let him go away... hmmm, we're not actually regretting, I guess we're just trying to clutter our brains with hypothetical issues, hehehe!

Oh, well... this is one of my "what ifs", at times when i visit my hometown. But I let him go in favor of someone else whom i believed to be a better one... and no regrets. Now, this someone is just a part of my past, those moments that would no longer come back. I am happy with my life now. Nice discussion, my friend.

yes i have someone that i sincerely wish hadnt gotten away. its been over 5 years now and i still miss him very much. we loved each other very much, but for too many reasons to try and explain, were better off seperating i guess. thats what we both felt at the time. though looking back sometimes i still think it could have worked, if we'd only been willing to try harder.

Yea. sometimes I think of my ex boyfriend and I remember how he use to be. He wasn't right for me but he was a good guy with good qualities. I'm in a new relationship now so I try to dismiss him from my thoughts whenever he comes to mind.

Yes... I wont say anything much about him... but right now that I have move on... I still think of the times when he made his vows that he will love me for the rest of his life...I oftn look at our pictures...esp during the time that we were so much inlove with each other... the love in his eyes is there...the smile in his lips is real... I wonder when was the last time Ive seen those... I wonder if I will be able to see that once more...Sometimes I wonder why went wrong when I find the half side of the bed empty...I embraced myself and cry with the emptiness i felt... its a sad story... although I have moved on... Sometimes I still wish that fate has never been this tricky to both of us...

I have one of those. I met him in highschool and dated for almost a year. I will hold him in a special place of my heart. It has been almost 38 years and I still remember his face and his smile and wonderful way that he treated me. I wonder wnat happened to him?

I love my bf deeply and I wouldnt trade him for anyone. However there was this guy,m or actually he is still a friend of mine.. he lives in another country and this is the only reason things never developed between us and it stayed with friendship. Whenever we meet, there are electric vibes in the air, and I am sure that if I didnt meet my bf a year ago, we would have found a way to work it out...

Often when I think fondly about somebody who used to be a romantic partner, it's not so much that I miss the person as it is that I miss who I was at the time, or what my life was like. Missing someone from the past can often be as much about missing the past as it is about missing the person! Of course, there are always regrets and dreams about "what might have been. . ."

I sometimes think of a person from long ago and wonder if I made a mistake in not being with her. I wish I could find her and know that she is OK. We never were really together other than friends. But looking back I sometimes wonder if I missed out on a great relationship.

yes of course... I think it's normal, as long as you know who you're with and the thoughts are just in passing I see no reason not to think of this person, specially since he has been a part of your life and even if you're with someone else now, I think it's ok to remember him fondly. as I said as long as you've done no sin, and doesnt' act upon your thoughts it's ok i think

Oh yes.. There's someone who frequents my mind every now and then. He was my guy who got away. We were high school "sweethearts" though he never really became a boyfriend and I wasn't her girlfriend in the truest sense of the world, we were just, ehem, more than friends, less than lovers, lol! I wonder where he is right now...
