This one’s gonna be tough. I talk a lot about my loves; it’s hard to think about that one, though. The one that got away, because I pushed him and let him. It was 1990. I was a baby. I didn’t know any better. I made mistakes and in early ‘93, once the door was closed, it was closed. I would sit in my car listening to Whitney belt out her heart-wrencher I Will Always Love You and sob. No joke, I sobbed like a bitch because I knew what I had ruined. What I had lost and what I would never hold again. It seemed like, that year, there were a plethora of break-up songs: I’ll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me) by Expose, Just For Tonight by Vanessa Williams, Water From The Moon by Celine Dion. But this was the one, and it always will be. I wish I could tell him I was sorry, I AM sorry.
