What Could Have Been...
by
Laramie Lee Roecker
Self-proclaimed lovelorn, lying in bed,
Flipping through all pages in my head.
Came across the chapter of you and I,
Began reading because I don't know why.
Read all about our good times and sorrow,
Almost forgetting twas yesterday, not morrow.
As we'd spoke I smirked to smile.
Daydreaming seconds turned into 'while.
One last time I looked into your eyes,
Falling no more into the whole of our lie.
We died as one way back then,
Never knowing what could have been.
Though lovers no more, we still are friends,
As I pray we will be to the very end.
