Have You Ever Let Someone Get Away? (Sorry That It's So Long)

Tweet

Do you feel like you let someone get away or you missed out on a relationship? I do. I sat and thought about all the people that I've liked and had crushes on and realized that I never attempted to talk to any of them. It's really pitiful. There were so many of them, there were probably some that I can't remember too. But there are a few in particular that stand out in my mind. There was this girl that I liked in middle school, she was a year younger than me. I was in the 8th grade and she was in the 7th. I never talked to her though, I just admired her from a far (but not in a creepy, stalker way). To be honest, I kinda forgot about her when I got to high school, but then I remembered her the next year when I was in the 10th grade and she was in the 9th. So went through the same cycle I always do. Go through the day hoping that I'd see her, but never having the courage to introduce myself or anything. Then she started to notice me too, or at least we started making eye contact, I dunno. But she ended up moving and I was like "Oh well, I blew that one!". But then she came back the next year, and I felt like I had another shot. But what did I do? Nothing! And she ended up moving again. Another one involved a girl that I was just crazy about. I was young and I didn't understand what love was, but I really liked this girl. I'd try to say I was moving on to someone else but I'd always end up going back to her. I never talked to her either, I don't even think she knew my name. Long story short, she died in a car accident our freshman year of high school. There are a bunch of other stories, but I've already drug this on long enough. I'm not saying that any of these girls could have been "the one". They might not have even gone out with me, and if they did, it could have been a terrible relationship. What kills me is the fact that I'll never know. The majority of them I'll probably never see again. But anyway, I'm sorry this was so long, but it's really been on my mind a lot lately. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.
