The One That Got Away



He was very careless to her.
 she wished he loved her the way he loved the girls outside.
Deep inside his heart he loved her more than anything.
 He wished she knew how he truly felt about her and how much he didn't care for the girls outside with their slim waist and thick hips.
 They were everything she wasn’t.
(perfect in his eyes) she wanted him to only see her.
 To see her true beauty,  what she didn’t show the world what the girls couldn't make fun of her for.
 The Real Her.
The raw and uncut version of her she created for him.
The submissive version of her that makes him feel how he never felt before.
The version of her that will hurt no more.
The version of her that was poor.
The version of her that was worn and torn out.
The version of her he cared for late at night, his most vulnerable hour.
The version of him that was full of sin.
The version of him that was once laid up after 10.
The version of him that lured her in.
The version of him that was hurting within.
The version of him that was not right within.
The version of him that could not admit to his wrongs and always felt he was right.
The version of him that couldn’t win without cheating.
The version of him that was so deceiving.
The version of him that all the girls loved.
He couldn’t accept her because he didn't love himself.
The version of him who tried to win.
Instead of becoming right within and naturally learning to succeed by instinct.
He failed to let go and let god. He suffers.
 The new version of him that offers.
The new version of him that’s more focused.
 The new version of him that is ready.
She let him go for the better for both of their lives. She lived and learned .
The new and improving her would have rejected his sex when he pressured her.
The new and improved her stands so high, his neck wouldn't even be a crutch.
The new and improved her is far from focused on his new life.
The friends she had are now his associates, more so (Mutuals).
Isn’t that how they all end much differently . ?
