In the course of life, have you had a romantic interest that ended up being the proverbial one that got away? To broaden the discussion: were you "the one" that got away?
Do you have a "one that got away" in your past?

There have been a few that "got away", sometimes via my boot in their rear ends...

Just one that didn't necessarily get away but the one I left as gently as possible. I loved him with everything I had, but he had 2 habits I would not and still won't tolerate. He never would ave stopped them and he told me that. Sorry it couldn't have been different.

No regrets here. Time is very good at sweetening up past relationships. But they are in the past, best to move ahead and simply cherish special memories without obsessing about what could have been...

They say "You never forget your first love", it's true. Often in my old age now I sit there wondering if he is still alive, and did he have a good life?
I'm going back now to 1964. He was a good looker, tall, blond hair and hazel eyes, although he had Spanish parents. He did write to me twice and the last time, it was Christmas, and he wanted to wish me the best, followed by Para Siempre., (always forever.)

I have a list! 
The ones that were the most fun/exciting had nothing to contribute to the program and would have held me back, the ones that had the most to offer were just duds.

Yes, I do have one that got away.
Her and I both had the same toxic friends, and we had enough of it.
She wasn't 18 yet, I was 9 years older. Those people are the kind who would have found a way to split us up, so I avoided her after she was 18.
We saw each other at a ball game, her new friend was really giving me a rough time out loud, to the point that surrounding people were getting mad at me. Her new friend was gonna get me kicked out of the stadium, or to jail for public intoxication.
I kept a cool head, the cops came over and it all started again. I won, they had to leave me alone. I really loved this girl, but her old friends, new friends, it was a lot that I didn't need and was cutting out of my life. I hate drama, and have still seen too much.
I still Love her very much to this day, not one day passes that I don't think of her.
