The One that got away

26 years ago we met 
kept in touch over the years 
seeing each other once or twice 
texting a lot when we can 
thinking about each other a lot 
I'm always with someone though 
never alone to find my way and explore 
now you're moving out of the country 
will we ever see each other? 
was or is our love doomed? 
was it ever loved to begin with? 
I want to know 
don't you want to know? 
if we could have ever been 
we always fall short for the ones we love 
leaving broken hearts to mend 
but the scars are forever there to stay overthinking won't heal the heart
