All That Could've Been
The finale in a trilogy of love poems.
We said it would be us to the end
Two hearts locked together from dusk 'til dawn
Two lovers pulled together from the first breath drawn
We said we were meant to be...
When I look back I'm alone, reliving the best day of my life
Wishing for more, wondering what it was for
Reminiscing on what we could've been
It always seemed like we could've had it all
I cared for you just as you did for me
It really was a flicker of eternity
And then just as it came we lost it all
No more memories
Now I'm left remembering you, while you forget me
I'll never forget the comfort I felt in your arms
Just as you, or rather we, will never know all that we could've had
Only I will
That's what the memories do to me
I don't hate you for hurting me– I never could and I never will
The memories we share keep me going
Those happiest days and sweetest nights
My mind spins them into a web of the future
Something to keep me up when I would've been with you
I seem to always have a reminder of all that could've been.
