“Maybe in another lifetime we’ll have our chance.
If nothing else, we can hold on to that.”
But that’s the thing. We never stood a chance. Fate had other plans for us. Different paths we needed to take, never quite intersecting together. Maybe that’s why I’m plagued by the what ifs and what could have beens. We could have been epic. We could have been happy together. That just wasn’t in the cards for us. Maybe in another lifetime we’ll have our chance. Either way, my spirit will always be connected with yours. So, if nothing else, we can hold on to that.

I have actually had someone say to me “This one wasn’t ours. Save me a seat on your bus next time around.”

That is the funny thing about fate; it can pry people apart and it can bring others closer together.
This is a haunting write. Love the way you ended this. Bravo.
