There was never 'us'
There was never ‘us.’
It was just me and the possibility I saw with my closed eyes
Our forever never started, and it will never
And I know that to my core
We were like the parallel lines,
Or like the magnets turned the wrong way,
Or like birds in different cages.
We were close, perhaps even aligned.
But never and ever destined to be absolute
I am terrified by the absence of a nonexistent us
And how, how come I am grieving ‘us’?
How could I lock the door that never opened?
How does it still mean to me? How do you still mean to me?
