January 17, 2024 marked 23 years since the love of my life passed away. We were 19 and she had been waiting for a lung transplant when she went into kidney failure. I was 2 states away when her mother called me from the hospital and said “talk to her, it’s likely the last time. She can’t speak but she’s coherent.” I told her not to be scared because God and heaven are waiting for you when you close your eyes. I told her how much I loved her and I’ll see her again someday. Then she was gone. This song brings back so much and I have to fight from breaking down. But in the sadness I also find joy in the memories I have with her. Life is so precious and truly God loves us and it’s amazing. RIP Sarah
Wow sounds like my son’s story…we lost our daughter n law January 16th 2022 they have two kids grandson and granddaughter…it’s so hard enough without kids…I’m there for them all the way…. Yes life is precious enjoy EVERY MOMENT while you can…beautiful song💔
I cried. I think almost all of us can relate to this song. There is always "That one that got away" and when I watched the video again.... I cried again.....
I was 16 years old in a small Texas town. She was also 16. My parents forbade me from seeing her, she was Mexican you see and in the 1950's Texas it was Taboo to date out of race. Soon after our forced break up I joined the military and her family moved back to Mexico. 20 years later while on vacation in Mexico, I saw a beautiful Latina selling seashells on the beach as I approached her, my heart sunk and I almost fainted, it was Maria, the girl I once loved. She smiled and started to weep. As luck would have it, neither of us were married at the time. A year later we were married and we now have 6 children and 12 grandkids! This song reminds me of our love. True love is real under the stars.
Everyone has that ONE person in our past that we wonder where they ended up at, it doesn't matter if it's 25 or 60yrs later we wonder . If only for brief moment in time we would love to know. Our first love, YOU can never forget ❤️
that's where this song takes me to every single time i hear it........ wish sometimes that the decision i made back then, never happened, but theres no way to know what might have been, sad, but good memories
I had 2 I wondered about over the years since JR/SR High. I'm in contact with both of them now. One is single and the other says "I'm never getting married unless..." Yeah, his current squeeze is mad, it's not her.
@@alwayssmesame with me. I was 17 and found out I was pregnant the beginning of Junior Year. He was 16 and asked me to marry him and he would raise her as his own. Her sperm donor was a military guy. He's always been in her life. Plus he was literally the only person there to support me when my middle daughter passed away. Came to her viewing and the funeral the next day.
How right you are, but I wouldn't trade a minute of the time he and I had spent together. Just remember that just because something is real doesn't mean it's everlasting love 💕.
Such a beautiful song, sigh...... Just trying not to reminisce about people and things, events that happen over the decades since 1950s... Seems like my heart and spirit have been feeling sentimental and nostalgic in a deep spiritual way
The line "too much time has gone by, we should just say goodbye, and turn and walk away" hits you differently when you are living this song. Word for word.
I guess I was a lucky one I married my high school sweetheart and last Oct 2019 was our 40th anniversary, and still love her like I just met her and will till God calls.
My wife of 45 years died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2019 shortly after retiring with us both active, healthy 65 year olds. All we spent our lives working towards and planning vanished that day. I've spent the last two years grief stricken wondering what might have been. This was always my favorite Little Texas song, but now even more so. I'm just now seeing an end to the darkness and beginning to feel alive again. This song still breaks my heart, but in a different, gentler way. Perhaps I too may love again.
I had a friend of exactly the same, retirement was just around the corner and she was gone. All their planning out the window. I turned 65 and my sister forced me to get my SS. I'm glad she did because everything I planned for the next 10 years came tumbling down. While that is not the loss of a loved one, the dreams I worked for had been shattered. Take care, my friend.
I remember when this song came out. I haven't heard it in years. Maturity and growth definitely make you view it differently. It's so beautiful. Definitely makes me think of someone who got away.
I wish I can be with my love, but circumstances keep us apart. I told her I would wait for her, even if I only get to see her before my last breath, it would still be worth it.
As crazy as this world is and continues to get , the emotions that this song brings reminds me of how much “love “ drives all humans. For good and evil. Enjoy and hold onto this feeling no matter what life brings us.
I am actually back with that one that has crossed my mind many times for over 30 years now. We are very much in love and going to build our lives together. This is edited. He passed away Aug 2nd due to heart complications after open heart surgery. But we still have they greatest love story. And we always will. He will always be in my heart until the day I join him in Heaven. He was my soulmate. Now he's my lost love.
Just lost my wife of 22 years, June 09, 2020. Almost every day the pain is unbearable. I hope things get easier with time but nothing has changed since I got the call.
I totally understand I feel so lost and alone yet I can't bring myself to let him go and move on. Just this morning I heard another song and I had to pay it on fb and tad his name. I miss him so much. The right of another man touching me is unbearable. But I still feel him near me and still want him miss than anyone could know.
@@jeffreycorzine9698 jeffrey. We will help you. Stay on listening country music. In 2 years afte4 gradustion I will move to chicago and visit you. Then I invite you to come to Germany and pain will be over
I’m so glad you found your way back to one another. I just got an email out of the blue from my ex- fiancé. We are both still married to different people. It’s been over 20 years. Somehow our paths keep crossing. This song absolutely reminds me of him.
Met her when I was 17 one summer and fell in love. She moved to New York with her family. Then, 5 years later, we crossed paths in my town but stayed together for only a short time. She had to go away and take care of her sick father. Years passed and no word. Finally, I let her go and I moved on but only in my mind and not my heart. 26 years would come and go before I would once again see her beautiful face. Fate once again would bring us together and this time forever. Although we missed a lot of years our hearts never forgot and when we met again 5 years ago, it was like we had never been parted. Now, we are to marry next year and it is both a blessing and a miracle that we ended up with each other.
That is why it is important to do whatever you can to be with the one you love. ..and to speak up to those who would belittle it....The saddest song...wasted opportunity...ugh
So have I! This song takes me back to 1995 when I was with Carie... What a beautiful wonderful person! I should have held on to her tight but instead I neglected her and lost her! Now I must spend the rest of my life alone! Love never does leave us, Chelsea Preas, at least not true love!
It's been almost 30 years since I saw him. We lived thousands of miles apart from each other so unless I went home I couldn't see him. There was no cell phone or internet back then but I don't know if that would have made any difference. It was complicated. I can still remember what he looked like and all the good times we had together. I loved the song when it came out simply because it's a great song and now I can really relate to this song.
This is a good song but be careful. You can waste a lot of time sitting around thinking about "what might have been". Be thankful for what you have and make the best of it because life can change in an instant.
Very well said and could not agree more. I believe that people come in and out of your life and if they’re meant to stay there, they will. Focusing on what you have and being thankful is what’s most important.
It's better to have never loved,than to have the pain, strife, loneliness,heartbreak from the memory of what might have been...yes, tis truly better to have never loved and lost...love is too unkind,too mean in the 21st century
The good Lord gives you what you need not what you want. I'm thankfully for who I am with now. She may not be who I hoped to be with in the past but I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world now
If this song, and especially this video, don't bring a tear to your eye and a lump in your throat.....then you've never had a true "what might've been"....
To all members of the band “Little Texas”: You will always be one of my 2 favorite country bands! Thank you for your week in the Hersheypark Amphitheater. I was introduced to a fabulous group of musicians!
I'm not a country fan but I remember hearing this song when I was a kid. Not only was the video beautiful but the song has stuck with me as one of my favorite songs of all time.
What a great song.....what else is there to say? I married the girl next door - we met when we were both eight. We didn't marry until were both 63. I had been in a terrible marriage and her husband had passed away. We often wish we had started earlier.....but maybe, for some cosmic reason, it had to be this way. I love you more than the stars, Linda - these have been the best seven years of my life.
It reminds me of a guy I was so much in love with and we did take different roads but connected again 20 + years later then he got sick and passed away broke my heart all over again I still miss him everyday
This brings tears to my eyes. It brought tears when I saw it on MTV and still does. Sooooooo beautiful & the ending is sad but happy and tear jerker 😢 love, love, love this song ❤
The problem for me, is, I still see my "What Might Have Been" every so often, on occasion. And the heartbreak comes back, just as real as if it had happened only just yesterday, increasing in intensity,churning inside me, as she passes me by, her fortunate husband,her family that her and I could have had, her kids that her and I could have had,raised up together, my dreams once again going with her as she fades away from view once more, leaving me to sadly ponder over and over again in my mind,as I sorrowfully shake my head in eternal dismay as the burning tears cascade down my already wet cheeks..... "What Might Have Been".
God I miss country music with videos and lyrics and stories like this. 80s and 90s country was EPIC!!! Gives me goosebumps!! I remember seeing this video on CMT and TNN in the spring summer of 1993. Great group
This is my wife and my favorite song. We were reunited after 30 years of being apart. We were very good friends that had a spark between us when we were younger. We reunited after 30 years and were married we have been together 10 years now . We have been married 7 years.. it’s our theme song.
I agree, bit you still have to acknowledge your pain & feelings of loss. Otherwise you will be haunted for the rest of your life. We all need to grieve about our losses in life, no matter how trivial they may seem to others. Just speaking from experience here.
@@cathyberry9579 Cathy, I think about this scenario often and come to the same conclusion Harry Chapin did at the end of "Sequel". "Half the time thinking about what might have been and the other half thinking maybe it's just as well". Sad that it works out that way nearly all the time, but sometimes it ends like this video did. I actually have a friend who's first two wives passed away and eventually married his high school sweetheart who had lost her husband of 40 yrs.
Living in the past is never good. Remembering the past is healthy. But dwelling on "what might have been" for too long can drive you too far. From experience here myself.
I met the love of my life in Jan 1982 at Fort Sam. We got separated by the Army & lost touch. In 2010 she found me on Facebook. We got married in 2011. Things have a way of working themselves out! If it's meant to be it will happen.
All these years gone by and this one still hits you right in the feels! I don't have a "might have been" except for wishing I would've met my Wife sooner. My Wife is my forever love, but this song is so powerful.
...I'm a 33 year old guy, and in my humble opinion, for reasons I cant explain, this is one of the saddest songs I know and has bought me to tears more then once.
Zachary Leonard ..so proud of you..my son is a Marine & God has been so good to him..i realize now how much you guys suffer for us..Thank you Sir for you! May God bless you & cover you always!
Zachary Leonard Thank you for your service. Our Soilders doesn't get enough support or gratitude in this country. They fight for our protection and then they are criticized by others. It's not right.
My heart still calls for him. After a 17 year marriage my ex walked out on me and our 4 children. My high school sweetheart was married just a couple of months before this happened. I've been alone now for over 15 years. I have to trust that God has other plans for me.
Nearly 41 years old. Never heard this song. Today I sat down to finalize my very heart breaking divorce and this song randomly started playing. Hit me very hard. Like it was written for me for that moment.
For anyone who has that one person in their past whom they wished they'd had a love relationship with, or gotten closer to, or even just gotten to know better, this song really hits home. The Moody Blues song "Your Wildest Dreams" strikes the same theme.
My thought exactly. I can't listen to "Wildest Dreams" without following it with "I Know You're Out There". Then I have to listen to "Same Old Lang Syne" and "Taxi/Sequel".
@@deltonkillen8024 Yep. "What might have been", "Wildest Dreams", and "Same Old Lang Syne". I've never been a fan of Harry Chapin, but I can appreciate "Taxi" being on this list.
For years this song haunted my childhood sweetheart and I. Through all of our adult life this one made both of us think of each other. Neither of us can tell you how many tears this song created for us. As years went by the words of this song even caused anxiety and anger. You see, our story is one of true love that lasted beyond 25 years, four failed marriages, three children, and a distance of more than a thousand miles. When i was 16 I moved to a small town in northern Michigan, known as the city that steers the world, and i began high school. In the hallways in between classes I'd hear this contagious laugh that I had to seek out. Turns out that laugh came from a very beautiful blonde girl. I knew I had to get to know her. I would see her coming to a gas station where I worked after school all the time. Finally I was brave enough to open the door to the store for her, kind of as to say hi, and be a gentleman. She was overwhelmed by this act of kindness and gave me the most beautiful silent smile I'd ever seen. That one act, small as it was, captured her heart forever. We began to go steady for a while and our feelings became so strong we couldn't contain them in a very short time. Sadly for our love she didn't know she was with child at the time. Upon that discovery she had to break up with me and go to her child's father, with whom she gave him two more children over a few years. Our feelings for one another NEVER went away, but for the respect of her children and her husband I left her and moved far away. I got married to someone I didn't know, stayed married for 22 years, unhappily. Finally divorced, I moved back home to that small town. Chances were, I met up with my long lost childhood sweetheart and it was like we'd always been together. Our hearts were still joined as if we'd been re- invited to live our teenage years all over again. Turns out she was divorced as well and her children had grown and moved out to live their own lives. We realized then and still today that we are soulmates who were meant to find each other and be together forever. We knew we were still in love after 25 years of being apart, and decided to waste no more years and became a couple right away. While traveling through Illinois to see Ulyses S. Grants' estate, the gps took us to a wedding chapel instead of his estate. We took it as a signed and was married in that town two hours later. We discovered that our destination was only a few doors down from the wedding chapel, and so we toured the Grant estate right after saying our vows. This year we will celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary and hope to have many more still ahead of us. We kinda have a relationship with this song like few others. Today there's no heartache when we hear this song, we just smile, and feel our love all over again. She has blessed us with sharing her children with me and her two grandchildren. I've since grown to love her children as my own even though they are adults. And the bond we share with the grandchildren is one that is forged in stone. Thank you little texas, for bringing a love story to life for couples like us. WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY WE FOUND OUT WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN...
If you have served in the Armed Forces in any time, whether it was in war time and or peace time , you will have alot of what might have been moments in your life .
I sit here listening to this 3 years after my wife left. We were married 23 years and have beautiful children who are still growing up. Doing all the healthy things I should, but our family was my home.
Same...I met my grandson last year and he asked if his grandfather and were going to get back together. I wish I took his advice. Now I will never have the chance..my x passed 3 months later of massive heart attack. 😭💔😭
For me, there was. A girl from my Job Corps days. I wanted to ask her out, but I was scared. If I had, I probably would have stayed in Job Corps. By the time we re-connected, I was already married. My wife died last Thanksgiving and by the time that I got around to try asking her out, I found out that she married somebody else. Her name is Theresa Pilkington.I still sometimes wonder "what might have been." But, I have since moved on and I am very much in love.
2 and a half years with the same girl i loved her with all my heart i thought i was gonna spend the rest of my life with her she joined the Air Force and i went to a Trade school she said i'll see you during the Holidays almost 2 years later my sister saw her Mom on the bus and said she was married and had 1 kid my heart sunk deep into my soul wish i could see her one more time and let her know how much she hurt me till this day i still think about her 25 yrs later
I understand completely. Very similar story except I joined the Army. Been almost 34 yrs. I think of her everyday. I still love her. We recently reconnected. Both on our 3rd marriage.
We were high school sweethearts. I was 15, he was 16. As most young relationships, we parted ways, married other people, had children. When we met up again 43 years later, I was divorced, he was widowed. That instant connection was still there and we are back together. I think maybe he was my soul mate and I was too young to see it. Thank god for second chances!
Hello👋 Sharon. How are you doing? Hope you’re fine. I’m Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
After both of lives turned into war stories with our past relationships, my true love, Rhonda Sue, who I cared for more than anyone was three grades behind me upon my Graduation and enlistment in the US Navy. We have been reunited and my world has wonderfully changed!
One of the most important lessons in life is there is no one you can't live without...its never the end of the world rather its a parent thats also your best friend or someone you swore was your soulmate...life goes on and we have to live it to the fullest we only have day to day nothing is promised to us
I left my wife 7 years ago and re-married shortly thereafter. I married my first when I was 19 so we grew up together. I have gone through many trials and tests since then but the one person that has always been there to help me has been my first wife. I know I don't deserve it; I treated her terribly. My kids hate me. I had a rose in my garden that I walked away from and it causes me great pain. Father's Day is a joke anymore. Had I stayed we'd have celebrated our 41st anniversary this year. How I miss her and what might have been. I love her more today than ever. What an old fool I am.
As much as the rules allow. You see, she has another man now and honor precludes being too forward. She knows I love her. If she were to lose her man and ask me back I'd be there in a New York minute. Thank you so much for your asking. Your interest touches me. I wish you well.
Phillip Buechner It's sometimes hard to know, when you get to a certain age, how you feel. I am struggling. Thank you for this. I need to hear this. And I do wish you well. I might just understand a little bit of what you have been going through.
My high school sweetheart and I were together for 3 years and our parents forbade us to speak to each other anymore. After sneaking around as long as we could we finally went our separate ways, but only temporarily. I was at work one day and my manager told me I had a call a few days before from a John and he left his number. I knew instantly who it was and when I called and heard his voice my heart sank just like the first time I saw him. We have 3 kids now and have been married almost 13 years. Love always brings back what's meant to be ❤
19 yrs ago I broke my HS sweethearts heart. Every time I hear this I cry. We could've had everything we ever dreamed of. I threw it all away with 1 mistake. So... Not all the guys make the bad decisions. Us women do too.
what might have been.... what could have been....perhaps what should have been, but poor choices, poor timing, got in the way... if you ever FIND them again, take a chance -- I did -- and we have had an amazing 20+ years together the 2nd time around :) and we shall grow old together, knowing what we missed, but celebrating what we found !
Yes hang on to her!!! Found my first love recently after 12 years. We are both married and have 3 kids each now! Those feelings of first love never go away!!! I really do love him and wish him nothing but the best in life. We both have said to each other recently that we both have wondered "what it would've been like", although it's in the past..we will never know! :(
Our did he juzt con u and cheat.. thn play tha victm.. lke ur a foolie.. Trie rip u 2 shreddz and yet u alwas ha hiz back .. It ant had to en lick tat..
Yes we all have that one!! Mine was two though lol!! The first one was my first love and I was a senior in high school and we got engaged for 4months and then we got broken up because of something she did under the influence that we couldn’t stay together afterwards. I left for boot camp 4 months later. We tried to get back together after I got out of the military but it just wasn’t the right timing. So 20 years later I ran into her and the timing was perfect and we went really slow trying to get back together but we gradually talked less as time and life went on. Almost a year after that she overdosed on fentanyl and she passed away. I think about her every now and then. She’ll always be special to me in my heart and she is the reason that I came to church and found God and I got saved and baptized. I know she is in heaven and she didn’t mean to overdose it was accidental. Anyway I will always remember her and have her in my heart and never forget her. We all miss you Melissa!!!
I missed the 70s and the 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time . Life was much easier , and everyone enjoyed life , do you love this beautiful songs?
It’s been forever since I listening to this song and as I was writing this song came on the radio and I stopped and cried for sure. It really got me thinking as well.
My high school sweetheart (3 1/2 years) made this song hard to listen to with dry eyes. He left for the airforce my senior year, 1994. The night before he left for bootcamp, he told me that if we didn't last, this would be our song. We stayed together until halfway through my freshman year in college. He asked me to leave school and move several states away to marry him, but I didn't want to let go of my dream of graduating from MSU. I went to visit him during spring break when we ended up breaking up on good terms. It's funny, we both live very near our hometown nowadays and never run into each other. Of course, I've never really gotten into facebook, and I don't think he has either; I'm not trying to find him either. I love the way my life turned out, love my husband and our 3 kids, but I still think of him when I hear this song--and many other days, too. He was my first love.
BusyTeacher/Mom i can relate to that i got together with my husband freshman year of high school he joined marines he was never home he was killed 4 years ago over seas we have 3 beautiful kids together this song is hard listen to
I think everyone has that one person, and you just wonder....20 years, 30 years, those memories don't go away when they are that big an impact on your life. Somewhere deep inside, you always hope that life will bring you back around again, but the chances of that happening are slim, and being the same people you were back then, even slimmer. But it doesn't mean that you don't hope for it, just the same.
Katie, have you ever wondered if you made the first step, would it be worth it? You reply hit home, and it has me thinking. What could it hurt to get in contact with the one person in your life, that if this song hits your heart, is it meant to be? I believe that everything happens for a reason and for me maybe this song at this time is giving me the push I need.
This song touches me in a place I didn't even know I had, a place I had left behind. To everyone else that feels that they have a love lost, congratulations. Hang on to the one love you can find. It's a cruel world, and no one else will care unless you do.
I can honestly relate to this song. While I was in the Army, I met a beautiful young woman who immediately stole my heart. Unfortunately, we lost contact for awhile until social media became prevalent. Then, once reconnected with her she was in another state, and I was in another relationship. Just never could make it back together. I'm hoping to go see her soon. We are both single now, and though we are not wanting a relationship, just to reconnect with a friend who means so much to me would be the perfect moment.
Low self esteem...is what caused my "what might have been moment" I was not able to get a good paying job and I knew she wanted lots of kids. So I made the hardest decision of my life and cut her loose so she could find someone who could afford to have a lot of kids. Regret? Yes and no...I do miss her...but I still can barely take care of myself. I have to live with the choice I made...Its not a lot of fun...and hearing this song always brings tears...:(
Sometimes when a man truly wants to give you the moon. Realizing they can't & they think you deserve more than they can give. So they remove themselves from the picture#
My God is this song getting me in the feels. I found out “the one that got away” from me passed away. I spoke with his parents to express my condolences and we had the most wonderful conversation about our relationship and how they wanted us to get married. Every memory of everything we had been through came rushing back. It had been many years since we dated and our lives went down different roads with me getting married and having a child and then getting divorced, but I never stopped caring for him. I wish he were still alive so I could tell him just how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. I will always cherish the memories we shared together for the rest of my life and I hope to one day find another love like I had with him in the future. Until we meet again...may you RIP Brent. Love you always
I don't care who you are, everyone has that one person in their history who you think what might have been.
So true
True
26michaeluk very true statement I still think of her after about 30 years
So true. I’m in my 40s and I still think of her and wonder
I have one that I never got over. Maybe one day.
January 17, 2024 marked 23 years since the love of my life passed away. We were 19 and she had been waiting for a lung transplant when she went into kidney failure. I was 2 states away when her mother called me from the hospital and said “talk to her, it’s likely the last time. She can’t speak but she’s coherent.” I told her not to be scared because God and heaven are waiting for you when you close your eyes. I told her how much I loved her and I’ll see her again someday. Then she was gone. This song brings back so much and I have to fight from breaking down. But in the sadness I also find joy in the memories I have with her. Life is so precious and truly God loves us and it’s amazing. RIP Sarah
Beautifully said.❤
Thanks for sharing that❤
Should have been by her side!
Wow sounds like my son’s story…we lost our daughter n law January 16th 2022 they have two kids grandson and granddaughter…it’s so hard enough without kids…I’m there for them all the way….
Yes life is precious enjoy EVERY MOMENT while you can…beautiful song💔
Should shut your rude mouth he lives with it everyday @@MrBonediver
I cried. I think almost all of us can relate to this song. There is always "That one that got away" and when I watched the video again.... I cried again.....
No doubt. 😪
Yes always
I had rather not 😢
Dealing with this now!

Went to hometown to my Mom's funeral, saw my what might have been after 47 years. Some feelings never change.
Hello Tammy.. how are you doing?
@@michaelsmith_32329_ get lost douche bag!!!
I was 16 years old in a small Texas town. She was also 16. My parents forbade me from seeing her, she was Mexican you see and in the 1950's Texas it was Taboo to date out of race. Soon after our forced break up I joined the military and her family moved back to Mexico. 20 years later while on vacation in Mexico, I saw a beautiful Latina selling seashells on the beach as I approached her, my heart sunk and I almost fainted, it was Maria, the girl I once loved. She smiled and started to weep. As luck would have it, neither of us were married at the time. A year later we were married and we now have 6 children and 12 grandkids! This song reminds me of our love. True love is real under the stars.
Joe Mama congratulations to you two!!
Wow lucky man
Beautiful ... thanks for sharing
God bless u and your family.......wow!
amen my friend i wish you all happines for life times to come
Everyone has that ONE person in our past that we wonder where they ended up at, it doesn't matter if it's 25 or 60yrs later we wonder . If only for brief moment in time we would love to know. Our first love, YOU can never forget ❤️
that's where this song takes me to every single time i hear it........ wish sometimes that the decision i made back then, never happened, but theres no way to know what might have been, sad, but good memories
I married my first love. It is my second love I wonder about❤😢
Id luv to know where she is
I had 2 I wondered about over the years since JR/SR High. I'm in contact with both of them now. One is single and the other says "I'm never getting married unless..."
Yeah, his current squeeze is mad, it's not her.
@@alwayssmesame with me. I was 17 and found out I was pregnant the beginning of Junior Year. He was 16 and asked me to marry him and he would raise her as his own. Her sperm donor was a military guy. He's always been in her life. Plus he was literally the only person there to support me when my middle daughter passed away. Came to her viewing and the funeral the next day.
“No we’ll never know……what might have been” Those words STING like nothing else in this world
How right you are, but I wouldn't trade a minute of the time he and I had spent together. Just remember that just because something is real doesn't mean it's everlasting love 💕.
I hear ya Jessie...to the bone
So so right
Always makes my heart ache hearing this song.
Decades later this song and video still packs a punch.
oh it packs more than a punch, this song can take the toughest person to their knees, like it did me...
I agree 😢
Such a beautiful song, sigh...... Just trying not to reminisce about people and things, events that happen over the decades since 1950s...
Seems like my heart and spirit have been feeling sentimental and nostalgic in a deep spiritual way
Oh, yes it does
Preach it kills me when I hear this song and the ending omg it's just too much
The line "too much time has gone by, we should just say goodbye, and turn and walk away" hits you differently when you are living this song. Word for word.
I felt that...deep in my soul
Amen.

I guess I was a lucky one I married my high school sweetheart and last Oct 2019 was our 40th anniversary, and still love her like I just met her and will till God calls.
wtg Bryan,,,same here....God brought my wife into my life in high school....it truly was "love at first sight"...44 years strong in 2020
Love is eternal.
I married mine as well. 16 yrs later... we had an 8 month old and 4 yr old, he woke up one day and decided he didn't want us anymore. 🤷🏼
Me too I still got mine and we got married in October 81

My wife of 45 years died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2019 shortly after retiring with us both active, healthy 65 year olds. All we spent our lives working towards and planning vanished that day. I've spent the last two years grief stricken wondering what might have been. This was always my favorite Little Texas song, but now even more so. I'm just now seeing an end to the darkness and beginning to feel alive again. This song still breaks my heart, but in a different, gentler way. Perhaps I too may love again.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I had a friend of exactly the same, retirement was just around the corner and she was gone. All their planning out the window. I turned 65 and my sister forced me to get my SS. I'm glad she did because everything I planned for the next 10 years came tumbling down. While that is not the loss of a loved one, the dreams I worked for had been shattered. Take care, my friend.
God bless you and keep you in His arms.
I hope you found what you were looking for sir.
@EJ Turpin I'm truly sorry for your loss. I sincerely hope you've found love again.
I remember when this song came out. I haven't heard it in years. Maturity and growth definitely make you view it differently. It's so beautiful. Definitely makes me think of someone who got away.
Oh, my GOD, the ever-elusive, "what might have been".. me, too.
It sucks that millions are not with the one they really want and Love.

Yeah. Not really. The said person just left when things were perfect. Majority of these cases wouldnt end in love.
@@danibruce8686 . Weird that I lost my true love in 2000 to someone else. I still cry once in a blue moon though.
I have lost him to addiction.
I wish I can be with my love, but circumstances keep us apart. I told her I would wait for her, even if I only get to see her before my last breath, it would still be worth it.
Life's like a train with many stations . . . some passengers stay for the duration of the trip while others are just passing through.
Too true, my friend. Too true
That’s truly beautiful... and so very profound ❤️

As crazy as this world is and continues to get , the emotions that this song brings reminds me of how much “love “ drives all humans. For good and evil. Enjoy and hold onto this feeling no matter what life brings us.

I am actually back with that one that has crossed my mind many times for over 30 years now. We are very much in love and going to build our lives together. This is edited. He passed away Aug 2nd due to heart complications after open heart surgery. But we still have they greatest love story. And we always will. He will always be in my heart until the day I join him in Heaven. He was my soulmate. Now he's my lost love.
God bless!
Just lost my wife of 22 years, June 09, 2020. Almost every day the pain is unbearable. I hope things get easier with time but nothing has changed since I got the call.
I totally understand I feel so lost and alone yet I can't bring myself to let him go and move on. Just this morning I heard another song and I had to pay it on fb and tad his name. I miss him so much. The right of another man touching me is unbearable. But I still feel him near me and still want him miss than anyone could know.

I’m so glad you found your way back to one another. I just got an email out of the blue from my ex- fiancé. We are both still married to different people. It’s been over 20 years. Somehow our paths keep crossing. This song absolutely reminds me of him.
It doesn't matter how old you get you still recognize your first love no matter the time or the distance
spicy.chick23 So very, very true!
Yes u do
No my first love is with someone else
especially if you just lost her 8 months ago..
thigh rip
Came here to cry. Mission Accomplished
This song triggers my heart straight to the past and to all of those that I've loved and lost😢❤
Met her when I was 17 one summer and fell in love. She moved to New York with her family. Then, 5 years later, we crossed paths in my town but stayed together for only a short time. She had to go away and take care of her sick father. Years passed and no word. Finally, I let her go and I moved on but only in my mind and not my heart. 26 years would come and go before I would once again see her beautiful face. Fate once again would bring us together and this time forever. Although we missed a lot of years our hearts never forgot and when we met again 5 years ago, it was like we had never been parted. Now, we are to marry next year and it is both a blessing and a miracle that we ended up with each other.
GENO Wow! How Amazing! I am so happy for you!
Thanks Justin!
+GENO congrats.beautiful story with an awesome ending.
+GENO FATE my friend it's FATE glad u 2 are together at last happy for you both FATE always WINS never forget that my friend
Thank you for your wonderful comment. We truly feel FATE had come into play when we ended up together once again. Cheers my friend!
I have cried so many tears over this song. Love never really leaves us, does it?
Chelsea Preas No, TRUE love NEVER dies ❤💔
I can't go back i
That is why it is important to do whatever you can to be with the one you love. ..and to speak up to those who would belittle it....The saddest song...wasted opportunity...ugh
Chelsea Preas your so right
So have I! This song takes me back to 1995 when I was with Carie... What a beautiful wonderful person! I should have held on to her tight but instead I neglected her and lost her! Now I must spend the rest of my life alone! Love never does leave us, Chelsea Preas, at least not true love!
Man this song hits me right in the feelers...I know I can't go back in time but I would give anything to be able too 😔
I feel ya' on this one... smh!
Oh yeah...both of our lives would be different...different children...wouldn't have the ones I do now...nor would he ...
I might have had a happier life and a happier marriage ...and only one instead of 3
Same.
Same here! Unfortunately it's not possible tho 😔
It's been almost 30 years since I saw him. We lived thousands of miles apart from each other so unless I went home I couldn't see him. There was no cell phone or internet back then but I don't know if that would have made any difference. It was complicated. I can still remember what he looked like and all the good times we had together. I loved the song when it came out simply because it's a great song and now I can really relate to this song.
We have similar story. Thank you
This is a good song but be careful. You can waste a lot of time sitting around thinking about "what might have been". Be thankful for what you have and make the best of it because life can change in an instant.
Very well said and could not agree more. I believe that people come in and out of your life and if they’re meant to stay there, they will. Focusing on what you have and being thankful is what’s most important.
It's better to have never loved,than to have the pain, strife, loneliness,heartbreak from the memory of what might have been...yes, tis truly better to have never loved and lost...love is too unkind,too mean in the 21st century
The good Lord gives you what you need not what you want. I'm thankfully for who I am with now. She may not be who I hoped to be with in the past but I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world now
That's what he said. He isn't dwelling on the past.
Yeah man
If this song, and especially this video, don't bring a tear to your eye and a lump in your throat.....then you've never had a true "what might've been"....
Robert E Lee exactly
I never had one of these moments. I married him!
You got that right !
I had that and after 30 we rekindled that romance and became engaged. Now he's gone to Heaven. He passed away Aug 2nd. My soulmate my love

To all members of the band “Little Texas”: You will always be one of my 2 favorite country bands! Thank you for your week in the Hersheypark Amphitheater. I was introduced to a fabulous group of musicians!
I'm not a country fan but I remember hearing this song when I was a kid.
Not only was the video beautiful but the song has stuck with me as one of my favorite songs of all time.
What country are you not a fan of? The real thing like this or the bad 80s radio rock they call country today?
Me too dude
This song makes me bawl my eyes out bc of my grandma dying! I hate country music lol

What a great song.....what else is there to say? I married the girl next door - we met when we were both eight. We didn't marry until were both 63. I had been in a terrible marriage and her husband had passed away. We often wish we had started earlier.....but maybe, for some cosmic reason, it had to be this way. I love you more than the stars, Linda - these have been the best seven years of my life.
To all the men & women who have served thank you for your service!

Beautiful sad song. Reminds me of the love of my life. Circumstances changed our story, but the love is still there.
I can't sing this song without tears just pouring out of my eyes. Absolutely beautiful song
That's what I'll be afraid of when I sing it on stage but I'm going to do it anyway what a beautiful song
It reminds me of a guy I was so much in love with and we did take different roads but connected again
20 + years later then he got sick and passed away broke my heart all over again I still miss him everyday
Yes it is one of my favorite songs ... an fits my life perfectly .. im 53 single an i often wonder ... " What might have been ... " 😥

The problem for me, is, I still see my "What Might Have Been" every so often, on occasion. And the heartbreak comes back, just as real as if it had happened only just yesterday, increasing in intensity,churning inside me, as she passes me by, her fortunate husband,her family that her and I could have had, her kids that her and I could have had,raised up together, my dreams once again going with her as she fades away from view once more, leaving me to sadly ponder over and over again in my mind,as I sorrowfully shake my head in eternal dismay as the burning tears cascade down my already wet cheeks..... "What Might Have Been".
God I miss country music with videos and lyrics and stories like this. 80s and 90s country was EPIC!!! Gives me goosebumps!! I remember seeing this video on CMT and TNN in the spring summer of 1993. Great group
This is my wife and my favorite song. We were reunited after 30 years of being apart. We were very good friends that had a spark between us when we were younger. We reunited after 30 years and were married we have been together 10 years now . We have been married 7 years.. it’s our theme song.
I was in the Navy for 4 years and the Army Reserves for 4 1/2 years and drove truck over the road Over 10 years. Dreams do come true.
Lucky guy
That's a great story!!!
Wonderful !
But sometimes it's best to leave memories buried. They can break your heart
I agree, bit you still have to acknowledge your pain & feelings of loss. Otherwise you will be haunted for the rest of your life. We all need to grieve about our losses in life, no matter how trivial they may seem to others. Just speaking from experience here.
@@cathyberry9579
Cathy, I think about this scenario often and come to the same conclusion Harry Chapin did at the end of "Sequel". "Half the time thinking about what might have been and the other half thinking maybe it's just as well".
Sad that it works out that way nearly all the time, but sometimes it ends like this video did. I actually have a friend who's first two wives passed away and eventually married his high school sweetheart who had lost her husband of 40 yrs.
Living in the past is never good. Remembering the past is healthy. But dwelling on "what might have been" for too long can drive you too far. From experience here myself.
THAT Song and Video, is one of The Best Love Songs there is! And I bet you, there are Millions! Out There, who have a story, like this.💖💯💋
Jesus... What a shot to the heart.
+Winston Webb Totally!!
I met the love of my life in Jan 1982 at Fort Sam. We got separated by the Army & lost touch. In 2010 she found me on Facebook. We got married in 2011. Things have a way of working themselves out! If it's meant to be it will happen.
icedobe 28 How wonderful! All the best to you both.
All these years gone by and this one still hits you right in the feels! I don't have a "might have been" except for wishing I would've met my Wife sooner. My Wife is my forever love, but this song is so powerful.
Every single time I watch this video, my heart aches for their characters. And I always cry at the end. You know this happened to real people.😞😥😓❤❤❤❤
...I'm a 33 year old guy, and in my humble opinion, for reasons I cant explain, this is one of the saddest songs I know and has bought me to tears more then once.
im a us marine im 33yrs old iv been to war i wish could go back to the day where i never knew pain
Zachary Leonard Thank you.
Zachary Leonard Thank You for your service!!
Zachary Leonard ..so proud of you..my son is a Marine & God has been so good to him..i realize now how much you guys suffer for us..Thank you Sir for you! May God bless you & cover you always!
Zachary Leonard Thank you for your service. Our Soilders doesn't get enough support or gratitude in this country. They fight for our protection and then they are criticized by others. It's not right.
Marshall Thomas ..my son the Marine..his name is Marshall also😊 it may be a common name but very random will you meet another Marshall..just saying
True love never goes away ❤
Absolutely!
My heart still calls for him. After a 17 year marriage my ex walked out on me and our 4 children. My high school sweetheart was married just a couple of months before this happened. I've been alone now for over 15 years. I have to trust that God has other plans for me.
I hope you're wrong dawn.
Nearly 41 years old. Never heard this song. Today I sat down to finalize my very heart breaking divorce and this song randomly started playing. Hit me very hard. Like it was written for me for that moment.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Beautiful

Loved Little Texas, wish they stayed together:(
Just imagine what might have been if they stayed together
I was lucky to see them with Waylon Jennings
AE DiChris they are actually back together! Have been for a few years, two of them didn’t come back but four of the original members still tour :)
They're playing tonight in my small, small town.
For anyone who has that one person in their past whom they wished they'd had a love relationship with, or gotten closer to, or even just gotten to know better, this song really hits home.
The Moody Blues song "Your Wildest Dreams" strikes the same theme.
"Your Wildest Dreams" is a great song about lost love too.
Oh yes, DEFINITELY! 🎵😢
My thought exactly.
I can't listen to "Wildest Dreams" without following it with "I Know You're Out There". Then I have to listen to "Same Old Lang Syne" and "Taxi/Sequel".
@@deltonkillen8024 Yep. "What might have been", "Wildest Dreams", and "Same Old Lang Syne". I've never been a fan of Harry Chapin, but I can appreciate "Taxi" being on this list.
11/12/22 still cherishing this beautiful song. It holds such a special place in my heart. ❤
"Sometimes, to keep it together. You have to leave it alone." 😢🥀
True
For years this song haunted my childhood sweetheart and I.
Through all of our adult life this one made both of us think of each other. Neither of us can tell you how many tears this song created for us. As years went by the words of this song even caused anxiety and anger.
You see, our story is one of true love that lasted beyond 25 years, four failed marriages, three children, and a distance of more than a thousand miles.
When i was 16 I moved to a small town in northern Michigan, known as the city that steers the world, and i began high school. In the hallways in between classes I'd hear this contagious laugh that I had to seek out. Turns out that laugh came from a very beautiful blonde girl. I knew I had to get to know her.
I would see her coming to a gas station where I worked after school all the time. Finally I was brave enough to open the door to the store for her, kind of as to say hi, and be a gentleman. She was overwhelmed by this act of kindness and gave me the most beautiful silent smile I'd ever seen. That one act, small as it was, captured her heart forever.
We began to go steady for a while and our feelings became so strong we couldn't contain them in a very short time. Sadly for our love she didn't know she was with child at the time. Upon that discovery she had to break up with me and go to her child's father, with whom she gave him two more children over a few years.
Our feelings for one another NEVER went away, but for the respect of her children and her husband I left her and moved far away.
I got married to someone I didn't know, stayed married for 22 years, unhappily. Finally divorced, I moved back home to that small town.
Chances were, I met up with my long lost childhood sweetheart and it was like we'd always been together. Our hearts were still joined as if we'd been re- invited to live our teenage years all over again. Turns out she was divorced as well and her children had grown and moved out to live their own lives.
We realized then and still today that we are soulmates who were meant to find each other and be together forever. We knew we were still in love after 25 years of being apart, and decided to waste no more years and became a couple right away.
While traveling through Illinois to see Ulyses S. Grants' estate, the gps took us to a wedding chapel instead of his estate. We took it as a signed and was married in that town two hours later. We discovered that our destination was only a few doors down from the wedding chapel, and so we toured the Grant estate right after saying our vows.
This year we will celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary and hope to have many more still ahead of us.
We kinda have a relationship with this song like few others. Today there's no heartache when we hear this song, we just smile, and feel our love all over again.
She has blessed us with sharing her children with me and her two grandchildren. I've since grown to love her children as my own even though they are adults. And the bond we share with the grandchildren is one that is forged in stone.
Thank you little texas, for bringing a love story to life for couples like us.
WE ARE HAPPY TO SAY WE FOUND OUT WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN...
Beautiful story 😢
May you have many blessed years together. Love can't be erased, hidden but never erased. God Bless.
my gosh that story brought tears
Dang, what a story! I'm all ready eyed. May you blessed with many more years together.
such a beautiful love story. I'm from a small town in Northern Michigan as well.
If you have served in the Armed Forces in any time, whether it was in war time and or peace time , you will have alot of what might have been moments in your life .
it is so true ,
Peter Daniel yes sir. Reminds me of a girl I left behind in German
Peter Daniel ooo
Especially if you were my Ex-Husband!! Midgets Wives co workers!!

It's great song when you need to cry and nothing else works. It's so beautifully written.
I sit here listening to this 3 years after my wife left. We were married 23 years and have beautiful children who are still growing up. Doing all the healthy things I should, but our family was my home.
Man this is spot on👍
were did country music like this go?

Same...I met my grandson last year and he asked if his grandfather and were going to get back together. I wish I took his advice. Now I will never have the chance..my x passed 3 months later of massive heart attack. 😭💔😭
I think we all have woulda should a coulda moments of the heart
For me, there was. A girl from my Job Corps days. I wanted to ask her out, but I was scared. If I had, I probably would have stayed in Job Corps. By the time we re-connected, I was already married. My wife died last Thanksgiving and by the time that I got around to try asking her out, I found out that she married somebody else. Her name is Theresa Pilkington.I still sometimes wonder "what might have been." But, I have since moved on and I am very much in love.
2 and a half years with the same girl i loved her with all my heart i thought i was gonna spend the rest of my life with her she joined the Air Force and i went to a Trade school she said i'll see you during the Holidays almost 2 years later my sister saw her Mom on the bus and said she was married and had 1 kid my heart sunk deep into my soul wish i could see her one more time and let her know how much she hurt me till this day i still think about her 25 yrs later
I understand completely. Very similar story except I joined the Army. Been almost 34 yrs. I think of her everyday. I still love her. We recently reconnected. Both on our 3rd marriage.
This is one of my favorite songs EVER!!! I love Little Texas!!
We were high school sweethearts. I was 15, he was 16. As most young relationships, we parted ways, married other people, had children. When we met up again 43 years later, I was divorced, he was widowed. That instant connection was still there and we are back together. I think maybe he was my soul mate and I was too young to see it. Thank god for second chances!

I left my wife 7 years ago and re-married shortly thereafter. I married my first when I was 19 so we grew up together. I have gone through many trials and tests since then but the one person that has always been there to help me has been my first wife. I know I don't deserve it; I treated her terribly. My kids hate me. I had a rose in my garden that I walked away from and it causes me great pain. Father's Day is a joke anymore. Had I stayed we'd have celebrated our 41st anniversary this year. How I miss her and what might have been. I love her more today than ever. What an old fool I am.
Have you told her?!
As much as the rules allow. You see, she has another man now and honor precludes being too forward. She knows I love her. If she were to lose her man and ask me back I'd be there in a New York minute. Thank you so much for your asking. Your interest touches me. I wish you well.
Phillip Buechner It's sometimes hard to know, when you get to a certain age, how you feel. I am struggling. Thank you for this. I need to hear this. And I do wish you well. I might just understand a little bit of what you have been going through.
Thank you so much for your time! I'm finding some folks on here that are wanting to help me get better. I am much obliged to you all!
You're very welcome! :)
My high school sweetheart and I were together for 3 years and our parents forbade us to speak to each other anymore. After sneaking around as long as we could we finally went our separate ways, but only temporarily. I was at work one day and my manager told me I had a call a few days before from a John and he left his number. I knew instantly who it was and when I called and heard his voice my heart sank just like the first time I saw him. We have 3 kids now and have been married almost 13 years. Love always brings back what's meant to be ❤
I know the feeling. I have that one person that I can't forget.

Back in the day this song made me cry. Now here we are in 2024 and it still makes me cry. Beautiful song.
what might have been.... what could have been....perhaps what should have been, but poor choices, poor timing, got in the way... if you ever FIND them again, take a chance -- I did -- and we have had an amazing 20+ years together the 2nd time around :) and we shall grow old together, knowing what we missed, but celebrating what we found !
That is so sweet!!! Good luck to you both!!
That is so awesome. I wish I had that chance. Hang on to her. :-)
Yes hang on to her!!! Found my first love recently after 12 years. We are both married and have 3 kids each now! Those feelings of first love never go away!!! I really do love him and wish him nothing but the best in life.

The first one was my first love and I was a senior in high school and we got engaged for 4months and then we got broken up because of something she did under the influence that we couldn’t stay together afterwards. I left for boot camp 4 months later. We tried to get back together after I got out of the military but it just wasn’t the right timing. So 20 years later I ran into her and the timing was perfect and we went really slow trying to get back together but we gradually talked less as time and life went on. Almost a year after that she overdosed on fentanyl and she passed away. I think about her every now and then. She’ll always be special to me in my heart and she is the reason that I came to church and found God and I got saved and baptized. I know she is in heaven and she didn’t mean to overdose it was accidental. Anyway I will always remember her and have her in my heart and never forget her. We all miss you Melissa!!!
I remember listening to them, Alabama, Blackhawk, and Restless Heart back in the day
This song always brings up so many intense feelings. I always think that I heard it in the 80's, but I guess not? I cry every time I hear it.
Hi Gina
I missed the 70s and the 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time . Life was much easier , and everyone enjoyed life , do you love this beautiful songs?
It’s been forever since I listening to this song and as I was writing this song came on the radio and I stopped and cried for sure. It really got me thinking as well.
Hello Melissa.. how are you doing?
Such a beautiful song, brings back so many memories 💔
2019 damn still loves this song
My high school sweetheart (3 1/2 years) made this song hard to listen to with dry eyes. He left for the airforce my senior year, 1994. The night before he left for bootcamp, he told me that if we didn't last, this would be our song. We stayed together until halfway through my freshman year in college. He asked me to leave school and move several states away to marry him, but I didn't want to let go of my dream of graduating from MSU. I went to visit him during spring break when we ended up breaking up on good terms. It's funny, we both live very near our hometown nowadays and never run into each other. Of course, I've never really gotten into facebook, and I don't think he has either; I'm not trying to find him either. I love the way my life turned out, love my husband and our 3 kids, but I still think of him when I hear this song--and many other days, too. He was my first love.
BusyTeacher/Mom i can relate to that i got together with my husband freshman year of high school he joined marines he was never home he was killed 4 years ago over seas we have 3 beautiful kids together this song is hard listen to
never forget...
GOD HAD A BETTER PLAN. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW.......
Angela Robinson I’m so sorry about your husband, just know that he died doing what he thought was right.
I think everyone has that one person, and you just wonder....20 years, 30 years, those memories don't go away when they are that big an impact on your life. Somewhere deep inside, you always hope that life will bring you back around again, but the chances of that happening are slim, and being the same people you were back then, even slimmer. But it doesn't mean that you don't hope for it, just the same.
Hello Katie.. how are you doing?
Katie, have you ever wondered if you made the first step, would it be worth it? You reply hit home, and it has me thinking. What could it hurt to get in contact with the one person in your life, that if this song hits your heart, is it meant to be? I believe that everything happens for a reason and for me maybe this song at this time is giving me the push I need.
This song touches me in a place I didn't even know I had, a place I had left behind. To everyone else that feels that they have a love lost, congratulations. Hang on to the one love you can find. It's a cruel world, and no one else will care unless you do.
I can honestly relate to this song. While I was in the Army, I met a beautiful young woman who immediately stole my heart. Unfortunately, we lost contact for awhile until social media became prevalent. Then, once reconnected with her she was in another state, and I was in another relationship. Just never could make it back together. I'm hoping to go see her soon. We are both single now, and though we are not wanting a relationship, just to reconnect with a friend who means so much to me would be the perfect moment.
I'm curious lol! How'd it go???
@@cherishwillis2525 Oooohhh....me too!!!
Low self esteem...is what caused my "what might have been moment" I was not able to get a good paying job and I knew she wanted lots of kids. So I made the hardest decision of my life and cut her loose so she could find someone who could afford to have a lot of kids. Regret? Yes and no...I do miss her...but I still can barely take care of myself.
I have to live with the choice I made...Its not a lot of fun...and hearing this song always brings tears...:(
Sometimes when a man truly wants to give you the moon. Realizing they can't & they think you deserve more than they can give. So they remove themselves from the picture#
Love,Lost and reconnected.Most of us will never know the Feelings.Those days were special in many ways 🤗💜
I totally agree !! For me, it was my soulmate, and twin flame.❤
as I sit and listen to this song it brings back so many memories of my first love
Any song that can make you cry is worth listening to again and again...and again...
This has to be one of the best songs and the video for it was superb .I will never forget that time in my Life.
My God is this song getting me in the feels. I found out “the one that got away” from me passed away. I spoke with his parents to express my condolences and we had the most wonderful conversation about our relationship and how they wanted us to get married. Every memory of everything we had been through came rushing back. It had been many years since we dated and our lives went down different roads with me getting married and having a child and then getting divorced, but I never stopped caring for him. I wish he were still alive so I could tell him just how much he meant to me and how much I loved him. I will always cherish the memories we shared together for the rest of my life and I hope to one day find another love like I had with him in the future. Until we meet again...may you RIP Brent. Love you always
Similar thing happened to me. I told about it in the comments. May Brent and Michael RIP
