Thank you, the one that got away. It's no use wondering what might've been We were never meant be. I do wish you well. Thank you, the one that got away. A little birdie told me you did steal the heart of another; I wish you both the best! It's the way destiny intended it. Thank you, the one that got away. Our spark of romance never lit as we were much too young to understand what love meant then. Thank you so much, the one that got away, because you've led me to my true love, my precious jewel of a wife. It's the way destiny intended it. Date written: 07/05/2020
