It could've been me

There was a moment,

A flicker of possibility,

Where it could've been me,

That you chose to love.

But it wasn't,

And I'm left wondering,

What was different,

What made you turn away.

Was it my words,

Or my actions,

That didn't quite align,

With what you were seeking.

Or was it simply fate,

That drew us apart,

Leaving me to ponder,

What could've been.

I'll never know,

The reasons why,

But I'll carry on,

And cherish the memories.

Of what could've been,

And hold onto the hope,

That someday,

It might just be me.
