I saw us curled tight and sweet.
Two dreams made one, somehow, within a heartbeat.
Twin hurt and fear coiled in perfect sympathy, healed.
Complete.
Or...
As much as they can be.
I saw a future!
Hours, days into weeks...
Time turning into forever.
Two hands clasped.
Promises.
Dreams.
Something so warm, so sweet,
held in the tiny spaces between us.
Hugs, kisses, whispers in the small divide between eternity...
And you...
And I.
A bliss of fantasy lived each night while you promised to be mine.
Vows I recall as dark falls,
As stars shine and hope wrings cries.
Never.
Never has been.
Never was.
Never now.
Never mine.
