To the one that got away

 i was going through my old personal emails when i stumbled upon a reply i gave my good friend about an article that talked about the one that got away. i wasn't able to save that article (unfortunately) so i won't be able to share it here. anyways, i will just post my reply to that forwarded message. and here it is:

actually, in what i believe in, there is no such person as "someone who got away"…

 

maybe someone who was never meant for you but not necessarily someone who got away…thinking that way is like putting yourself into a situation of regret…like what the article said, that person's the GREATEST WHAT IF of your life…and what ifs are merely regrets…i don't believe in regrets…i know it (regret) exists but there's no point in dwelling in one. it's just gonna make the present situation unstable…always thinking there's someone out there who's supposed to be with you right now but somehow fate twisted things and you're stuck with another person instead of that person will make your present situation not right. the fact that you've let that person go is proof enough that things won't really work for the two of you…deep inside you know that fact…there's just one "makulit" part of your heart that tells you otherwise…and that "makulit" part could be shrugged of…you would have fought for that person if you believe he was right for you…if you think the two of you could withstand everything…but heck you did not…that's why you let that person drift…

 

what i'm trying to say is, once you've let a person go…let him go…do not restrain him from your thoughts…let him be where he is now…and let yourself be where you are now…thinking of the other person will also "bother" him in a way that only the cosmic entities know…let the person be at peace and you too will be at peace with yourself…

 

i could be wrong in all of this but hey, this is my opinion…hehehehe@!

i guess i still believe that once a person is out, he is out, and he should remain out unless you want to complicate the whole situation you are in right now. of course, allowing yourself to engage in relationships (any kind of relationship for that matter) without the totality of being over a person from the past is a big mistake. how could you commit to the present when your mind is lingering in the past? let go. that's the only way to escape being imprisoned by that someone who got away. and to that someone who got away, may he (or she) be in the best condition this world can offer him (or her). and let's just leave it to that point and move on to where we could find the "best" that this world has to offer us. i think it's fair enough.

and i think i've said enough.
