Dwelt In Possibility

"She wanted something to happen- something, anything: she did not know what." 
    --Kate Chopin

Yes, I wanted something to happen
I wanted him to love me, 
to even notice me, 
but he sped through Life
as if I was a dead girl walking.

To him, I was nothing.
To me, he was everything.
To me, he was Life and Breath
He was Water and Nourishment
He was Spirit and Soul
He was my all, 
though I scarcely knew him.

I knew him not, 
But I knew I loved him.
I knew Love well enough to know it came to me continuously
Like a cat in need of attention.

But he knew not Love, 
For he shunned me. 
He shunned me like the moon shuns the sun.
We met no more, 
Nor did I see him anywhere.

Nor did it matter anymore.
He left me
I wanted something to happen...
anything to happen...
But nothing ever did.
