I Never Got

I never got to be with you
or grow with you like sweethearts do,
just you and me. . . but C'est la Vie!
We had our brief sweet chemistry;
no chance to see what would ensue.

I never knew you through and through.
We never chose that avenue.
And so you are the fantasy
I never got.

And since I never could accrue
shared times with you, I have no clue
how we’d have been. No history
is there to mar my memory,
and so it always will be you
I never got!


(Entry in Matt Caliri's I Love You Because . . .)

Ahh, I think one can relate to this quite easily--that nagging feeling of "what if"--all the more made challenging since it's about love--you sure are on a roll, Andrea--this is going to my faves--haha I am such a "what if" kind of girl sometimes...you rose to Matt's challenge so well with this piece, I'm sure it will do wonderfully :) super enjoyed this piece...:)

Best of luck for your entry in the contest, Andrea! Best is always a mixture of fantasy and reality. Thank you for yor comment on "Black Cat"! Also in Germany a black cat stands for bad luck. But I had a black cat and my former neighbor's cat was black, for me a black cat is a symbol of luck. Love, Gert
