An Open Letter to The One That Got Away

Ft. Kimberly See


The one that got away,

Before you left, I wanted to tell you that we would have been perfect for each other but clearly we’re not. I wanted to show you that we could have had a chance at life but to tell you frankly we wouldn’t even last a day after what happened. I would have fetched you the moon and the stars, but obviously I didn’t have the chance. We could have spent eternity together but we didn’t. It’s all because you ended it, it’s all because we’re not made for each other.


Do you remember the time when we stare at each other to pass the time? Do you remember the time when we just lie down and fall silent with no words needed? It was so quiet we can hear each other’s heartbeat. Do you remember the time we held each other’s hand? We were so afraid to let go of each other’s hand back then. But it was all back then, back when everything was perfect, at least I thought it was.

Why did it end up all of a sudden? A picture of forever faded so quickly. Was it because of me? Or something I did? I guess it doesn’t matter now. It’s over isn’t it? Our journey is finally over, a story where we never saw an ending but we saw an end.

I want to thank you at least, for everything, because for one moment I felt loved. I felt something I’ve never felt before. I want you to know that I am happy because you ended it, I would’ve never realized how different we were. I was relieved you came to a realization so quickly, so abrupt, that a second longer with you would have shattered me into pieces.

Today we are living our lives taking one step at a time in a path we choose, a path where we can live without the other. There will come a time where we may cross each other’s path again and by that time we may be able to look at each other’s eyes with no more pain. To notice the scars that was left, not to be reminded of our painful past, but to be reminded of the lessons we learned; and maybe, just maybe one of us can manage to break the silence and say Hello.

There’s nothing else for me to say. I thank you and I wish you well. Xx

Kind Thoughts,

The one you loved
