I wonder sometimes
how things would be different had I
kissed you then.

Would we be walking |hand|in|hand|
through the park?
Would we be making memories right now?

I'll never know,
because they were right;
I do regret it.

I wish, now that I had kissed you
when you gave me the chance,
so I wouldn't be sitting here thinking how it'd be different.

When I look at you, when I'm with you,
I'm happy...
an emotion hard to come by these days.

Every time we hang out,
I think about how I ruined our friendship then.
Once something is |b|r|o|k|e|n|, it can never be completely f-i-x-e-d.

But I don't think you do.
You said your part: "Let's leave this behind us."
I said mine: "We can be friends again."

I've said many lies in my day,
that being one of them.
But you'll never know that, [will you?]

You'll live your life not knowing
just how much you meant to me...
just how much I wish I meant to you...

You think that when you told me, "I never liked you like that,"
everything was o.v.e.r.
Maybe it was just the beginning.

Even still, a year after all this began,
I won't let those tears fall...
In hopes, perhaps,

that someday,
you would hold me in your arms
and say, "I'm sorry; it's okay to cry."

You won't though, will you?
I hate myself for falling into this forgotten trap of yours:
your smile, your voice, you're laugh...

I -struggle- and {struggle} and |s|t|r|u|g|g|l|e|
but maybe that just leaves me more trapped.
I cannot set  myself free.

Echos of the past -pierce- my throbbing heart...
for the thread of life, once sewn,
cannot be -u-n-d-o-n-e-

And I will forever be [trapped]
in the memories of what could have been.
A wandering soul.

There is n.o.t.h.i.n.g
beyond the black numbing
of this hole I dug for myself.

Notice, if you will, how as you get to the end of the poem, I used more and more coding. This is to show the intensified feelings of the speaker, as talking about their lost love makes the hole inside their heart seem even bigger and emptier, if at all possible.

Enjoy! :blowkiss:

Thank you for the comment/fave if you do so :heart:

This is really good. It reminds me of awhile ago when I almost made a decision that would've led to thoughts very similar to this, I'm even more glad now than I was before that I didn't.

This is barely related to this piece specifically, but I've noticed a few semicolons as I've been catching up on your work tonight.

Yay semicolons! They're getting rare these days...good to see them getting some love.

This is so beautiful and real. I know you wish things had gone differently that day, and so do I. We all had the power to do something and we didn't. And now we picture the future and have regrets, no one more so than you. I really hope this works out for you. You two are in a good place right now and let's try to keep it that way <3
