The One That Got Away

I always remember you when the sun shines. When the sun shined on your face, and The sparkles that radiate around you. That was the magic I remembered. In those years, we laughed and cried, When life was good. I wish I could go back to that time, I would change those things. You were the one that slipped through my fingers, the one I let go, and now, I'm left with nothing but regret. You were always that person, That I could never forget. As the years fly by, Some partners and a few marriages, Yet all have failed, Because they're not you. I wish and pray at night to go back in time and Save us so that we can have our happy ending, but That only happens in the Fairy tales. So, I dream so I can have you in my arms. One day, maybe one day, We will find each other. I look on my phone, and I realize, The past has indeed caught up with the future. I see your picture a little older, but, Still so beautiful. Your smile radiates off the page, As I remember those days of yesteryear. I click "Accept." I see your DM with a simple message, That puts a smile on my face. Charming, do you want to find your happy ending? I answer, yes, Snow, I missed you so much! Charming, this is your second chance, Please don't blow it! Snow, I promise you it won't happen, not again, I've regretted that day all my life. The doorbell rings, and I smile, Knowing who's on the other side. The door opens, and I see Snow. A princess as she ever was. As they say in all fairy tales, "They lived happily ever after, Prince Charming and Snow White."
