What Might Have Been

The people who matter enter our lives arriving by chance, fate, divine intervention, providence or whatever makes you the most comfortable. Over the course of my life, I have fallen for people with whom I knew there was no future. They were either too far away, in a relationship or retreating as I pursued. This trend has followed me for most of my adult life. 

Now, as I grow older and find myself longing for some sort of relationship, I can't help, but wonder about what might have been. I see the rings, families beginning, joy of children and I cannot help, but be selfish. 

I want those things. I don't want to be locked in the past. I don't want the feeling of my glory days passing me by. I don't want to wonder about what might have been. I want to be so present people can't help and see that I am future focused. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,
