the foundation for a story, song, or monologue.
The One That Got Away
by ChatGPT
Everyone has one.
Maybe you met them in a coffee shop, when you weren’t really looking — when love was the last
thing on your mind and the first thing you didn’t realize you needed. Or maybe it was a childhood
friend, someone who knew you before the world told you who to be. Maybe it was that person who
sat next to you in class, or on a plane, or in the backseat of someone else’s car, laughing at something
small but meaning something more.
The timing wasn’t right. Or maybe you weren’t right — not yet.
Sometimes, the one that got away doesn’t leave because they stopped caring. They leave because
life pulls hard in different directions, and you don’t always have the strength to hold on with both
hands. Or you didn’t realize you needed to.
There are moments that come back to you late at night — not always big ones. A glance across a
crowded room. The way they said your name. A hand brushing yours and not pulling away. Or that
one last conversation where you both pretended not to be heartbroken, because saying goodbye
would’ve made it too real.
The worst part?
They didn’t slam the door.
They just… slipped out quietly, like a sunset you watched but didn’t realize was the last of the season.
And ever since, every new face feels like you’re searching for them in someone else. You compare
laughs, hands, souls. But no one quite fits the shape they left behind. Not because they were perfect,
but because they were yours, in some soft, fleeting way that no one else will ever be again.
Maybe they still think of you, too. Maybe they scroll past your posts and wonder how you’ve been,
wonder if you ever think of them. Or maybe they’ve moved on, found the love you couldn’t give at
the time, and that’s okay. It has to be.
Because the truth is, the one that got away doesn’t always mean unfinished.
Sometimes it just means unforgettable.
And maybe they were never meant to stay — only to teach you something, awaken something, leave
something. And they did. They left a story, a scar, a smile. And even now, all this time later, they’re
still part of you — woven into your music, your memories, your silences.
Everyone has one.
And sometimes, the most haunting love stories are the ones that never got to be told.
