Drowning With Could Haves
  We could have been legendary,
  we could have made everyone jealous.
  A love worth painting
  because everyone should have a piece
  of what we could have been.
  That could have been us.
  A love with a tragic end
  and hearts that get broken like glass.
  Oh that would have been grand.
  Instead we are a could be case.
  We never got closure,
  we never got anything
  except hope put in to both of us
  to the point where we started believing
  that we could make it work.
  But it wasn't meant to be.
  I would give anything
  to be able to have that tragic love with you.
  To have the chance.
  But no. I only got the privilege of knowing you.
  But did I even know you?
  I mean I did, I knew you.
  Only you though,
  not your smile or your voice.
  I never met you
  and I probably never will.
  Thats the crazy part,
  we never met.
  Ever.
  I barely have an image of what you look like
  except for two pictures,
  one which I lost and another that I have on my phone
  and look at from time to time when I feel emotional.
  Thats all.
  Maybe thats why I am so eager
  to write you this letter because I never got enough.
  We never got enough.
  Still you matter
  and I hope I matter to you the same way.
  So I am writing you this letter mainly for myself
  since it won't get mailed to you any time soon.
  Just to get all the bottled emotions out
  instead of feeling like I am drowning with could haves.
