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 . . .)
