Ode to The One That Got Away (aka the one I was retarded enough to let go)

B has been MIA: Missing In Action due to Men Indecision Angst.

This is all she has to show for it.

A Poem

* "For a free dinner...who sings this song?" I always got the answer wrong, but you always bought me dinner anyway.

* You were meant to just be a one-night stand... but you texted me the next day to thank me for folding your clothes

* You stayed up all night and talked to me when I couldn't sleep, even though you had work the next day

* You spent an hour cleaning your flat in case I came back in the near future

* You thought I was a 9.2 out of 10 when hungover with no makeup on

* You bought new Ralph Lauren cologne to persuade me to be your girlfriend - you didn't need to

* You always answered the phone 'Hey gorgeous.'

* You called me Tits Mcgee and a wee chocolate creme brulee

* You texted to remind me to wear sunscreen

* You tried not to smoke and drink around me because I am a brat

* You told me I am lovely and always say the right thing - I'm not and I didn't

* You would get up at 6 or 7am to drive me home before work, an hour out of your way, just so I wouldn't have to take the train

* You called me late from work just to say goodnight/because you missed my smell/my voice/my constant chatter

* You were always completely inappropriate but it made me laugh. I only knew you for a few months but you gave me wrinkles from laughing so much.

* You thought I looked nice in a dress, but you complimented me the most the time I went out for dinner with no make up and my hair in a messy ponytail

* You wanted to take me away for a trip and plan it all yourself

* You always gave me the good pillow

* You held my hand at the train station/at the mall/at the pub/in front of your guy mates

* You were tough but such a softie underneath

* The night you thought I was going to break up with you, you still ordered my favourite takeaway to be delivered, let me stay with you and drove me the hour home the next morning

* When we broke up you hugged me all night and in the morning said you didn't want to let me go. Even though it was all my fault

* When you smiled at me sometimes I forgot what I was saying.

* You told me you were in love with me when you were drunk. You pretended you didn't remember but I'm pretty sure you did

* You treated your mum and sister like princesses. You told me you missed hugs from your mum and it made me want to hug you all the time!

* You said I was way too cool for you - I wasn't

* I stole your chewing gum, coins, new Hilton slippers and favourite t shirt, but you never complained

* I still have them.

* I broke up with you because I was confused, and stupid. I miss you and I'm so sorry!
