What Was and Was Not Meant to Be

Standard

It is impossible to not glance back on those days
from time to time. What seemed like love then
turned out to become frayed,
frayed in a way that keeps me wondering what could have been,
what should have been. Looking back with a feeling of suffocation,
I realize she has remained my friend,
leading me to believe true love is being kept at bay.
She has also given no considerations to other capable men.

And not to mention her stare of blatant desire,
something I find to be puzzling, yet reassuring –
a gesture symbolizing comfort and belonging.
It is the expressions that do not by the means of the mouth meet
that still spark that flame, that kind of flame generated by a birthday cake trick candle,
the kind of flame symbolizing passion, hope, love.
