Maybe

I must admit 

there are those times when you cross my mind

as you often do

and I wonder...

how our lives would be now

had we took that path

held the key

and let ourselves go beyond

that measured next step

countless nights and endless days

would be ours now,

without regret

and maybe we would know

true happiness

blissfulness.

or worse, yet

maybe we would be the same

without a clue

no me,

no you...

Thank you both for your time and comments.

There are those certain ones who torch our soul... memories last forever...

Wishing you well.

This reminds me of the George Michael song "A different corner" the lyrics go
I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care

No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

If I could, I would, I swear

~ the uncertainty of how an equation can flourish or perish is articulated in an infinitely poetic way in this piece, dear alisa... ~ when the new person in my life once asked me if "everything would magically return to normal" if my ex returned, i thought long and hard about what "normal" for us was... and it was what you've described in the closing of this piece... and that's when i let go of my debilitating past...
