“

I wish we could have a do-over

because who we first appeared to be

is not who we are at all.

It was never like us to scorn

in the idea of having to go to bed

next to one another. Actually,

it used to be a dream that we

once shared together.

When did we wake up and want

nothing but separation? When did we

start acting like our end was meant

to finish at the very beginning?

We used to be full of so much hope,

used to write about our future

together when all we wanted at all

was just to be beside one another.

And now that you’re gone,

now that you’re no longer by my side

or in my life, I can’t help but going

back to the moments before

you were here and when all that

you and I wanted was even to be

in the same room if that meant

being near each other at all.
