The road not taken

I’ll be turning 31 this year, 31 years filled with good and bad memories.  Sometimes when I find myself doing nothing, I just tend to think of things from the past like things I could’ve done better or just choices I should’ve taken.  Anyways that besides the point since I am sure in our lifetime we’ll have regrets and we’ll always wonder about them.

But today’s story is one I that I encountered through someone close to me.  I’ll call her spotless or perhaps Ms Spotless to be more precise.  Right now Ms Spotless is somewhere enjoying the company of her man that’s been with her through a lot and he’s a gentleman.  A gentleman that treats her right and appreciates a womans worth.  But there is a little story you see, before Ms Spotless found her man, she was a single woman, just going through life.  Then it was by chance that there was possibly a lot of guys, but out of them all, was one guy who had a good chance and his name I’ll call Mr Shithead. 

As it goes, both confessed their feelings for each other and they were on the verge of possibly being a couple.  But Ms Spotless had some things she had to attend to and couldn’t focus on the relationship before her.  Meanwhile Mr Shithead got possibly all impatient and just decided to go out with another woman. 

When things were all resolved for Ms Spotless, she found that Mr Shithead had already moved on and what was said was now worth nothing more but just words.  This is where it gets good though, for Ms Spotless, the gentleman (her current man) came out and confessed his feelings (I think), then a relationship grew from there. 

It’s still going strong now and looking ahead I dare say will for quite some time.  Meanwhile with Mr Shithead, he’s probably single and looked back at what’s happened.  Realising that he let a good girl go and waiting was probably the best option.  He’s still got some feelings for Ms Spotless, you can tell how he tries to express himself to her when they talk etc.  I don’t know if he’ll get an intimate moment with her and I dare say he’s lost his chances.  I think it’s probably best for Mr Shithead to get over his lost chances and just move on, no use holding on to what could’ve been, and at the same time destroy yourself.

So it brings me back to the question, what if??  What if he did wait it out and took that time to understand her more?  Would’ve things been much better in life for him or just the same?
