She's the one who got away. The one you'll spend the rest of your life trying to replace. And in the beginning, distance may feel like the right choice, a breath of fresh air you so desperately crave. Until the rush of novelty dissipates and you realize she wasn't replaceable. Little did you know, her magic is something you can never recreate. She's the one who would have done anything and everything for you until you decided it just wasn't enough. And although she was the furthest from perfect, her compassion, patience, and willingness to stand alongside you despite life's obstacles is a trait you will soon realize is not all too common. Her soul is one you took for granted because you thought the grass would be greener elsewhere. That's the unfortunate thing about taking risks: you're sacrificing something so incredibly unique in pursuit of perfection that doesn't exist. You made a choice to leave behind a spirit that is never found twice.
