The Way It Could Have Been | Poetry

The way it could have been,
If you let it,
Is me,
I do mean I,
Being a piece of you,
Wanting to support,
Showing up to love,
You, in the present,
Never far,
But near,
Enough to hold you,
When you are cold,
When you need some cheering up,
Ice cream in a bowl,
As we stirring up,
Some old photos,
Laughing and dashing about,
In our summer clothes,
Always gasping,
Because of the jokes,
The math is forever mathing,
Deem to be what it is,
Actually,
Everything you may,
Have ever wanted,
It seems to me,
We are just clashing,
But not deliberately,
We are now just ashing,
What you mean to me,
So I cash in,
My heart to you,
Matching the heart you needed to,
Be inseparable.
