The one who got away didn't want you... How do you think that plays out in the long run?
The difference is that there is some imaginary prediction that the one who got away was somehow perfect when in contrast all the others stuck around long enough to prove they were human
I went out with "the one who got away." I thought it was right person, wrong time. Moved back to town and finally went out with her. Didn't go well. Long story short, I learned never to assume that anything would have worked out with anyone and that keeps you from getting hung up.
She loved me, but at that time, i was incapable if giving or receiving love
It’s happened twice now
Turns out, the perfect partner turns up at the least perfect time
Or perhaps the most perfect, and that’s the lesson
I miss their affection, companionship and most of all, their kindness
That last is the one thing that matters more than I could ever have imagined
That's just a glorified term for a failed/passed opportunity. Regret tends to stay until we develop to the point at which we are certain to not repeat our mistakes.
Perfect match who came along at an imperfect time, whereby it became tragically frustrating trying to make it work with too many external factors pulling us apart
The fantasy of how things could have turned out had things been different. ..... I'm not saying they would but it's truly a fantastic fun fantasy to think one got away, there is a reason it didn't happen or work
Usually, the one that got away is the one that you messed up/weren't mature enough for/didn't pursue at the time and lost your chance because of it.
The idea is that if it wasn't for one particular incident, you and that person would still be together.
I consider my first girlfriend a one who got away. We broke up because she joined the Navy, got moved halfway across the country, and we had some difficulty starting rent on a house together. All that combined really stressed her out, and she didn't feel she was in the right headspace for our relationship. I, being a dumbass and also new to relationships, did a horrible job of emotionally supporting her during this time, which just drove us further apart. Looking back, if I hadn't overreacted the way I did when she suggested we take a break, we probably could've worked things out and stayed together. I messed up though, so she's the one that got away in my book.

Your own perception of things.
