What might have been

I reflect on what we might have  been,

Had things been different, life’s unforseen,

Twists and turns, fates convuluted hand,

Allowed a glimpse of what might have been, but built on sand,

Could it have been different, would we have been greater in pairing,

Or is this just a hollow dream, that fate has been kind in sparing,

Our paths met, then diverged, adding richness for us both,

Loneliness and sadness in the parting, a layer of learning must add growth,

What we are yet to become, will be due to singular striving,

Happiness and fulfillment, in this life we must work at surviving,

I reflect on what is now,

What might have been I disallow,

Another world, another life, it might be bliss,

Until then I gather life and fulfill my destiny, unable to be blue,

Living life to the full,only more so because I shared a morsel with you.
