Lost loves / late night thoughts

Sometimes I dream of all my missed connections.

I wonder if I could’ve lived a parallel life with a different partner.

If maybe the brief connection and meeting of glances could mean something more.

I see him in strangers sometimes and wonder how he is.

I hear her in songs and wonder how she’s doing.

All these people I could’ve, should’ve seen.

If only I had the courage to offer love and words of support.

If only the love I had was reciprocated.

Instead we pass like ships in the night, hardly knowing what could happen if our paths intersect.

Maybe in another life.

Maybe in another time.

I would’ve wound up with you.
