The closest thing to a one that got away

There was this girl I worked around one summer in my early 20s. My life was shit at that time and even tho I wanted a girlfriend I was in so much hell I don't think things could have worked even if I wanted them to.

I did want something to happen with me and this girl. She came up to about my shoulder. My age. Skinny. Black hair. Brown eyes. No fucking make up and looked stunning.

I didn't get to talk to her much at this job. Always wanted to ask her out to get ice cream. I would have.

I'd bet anything she is married now and probably doing well. She was a quality woman. One who, the only one who I could say is something of a one that got away.

Just thinking about her now makes me feel the butterflies and excitement that you should feel but that most don't when with someone. I know I didn't with the last person I dated. I wanted to feel that way and tried, they didn't really seem to care any way. I hope I can find someone better. To my ex tho, I'll probably be deemed her one that got away. No God dam Fucking way she can do better than me.
