Unrealized Romances

June 18^th 2020

Unrealized romances &
Unfulfilled love stories
occupy my thoughts

Not just my unrealized romances
Also the billions of others
Opportunities missed that never exist
because we never said hello

Love separated by time and space
and cosmic circumstance

Wonderful, magical eye contact
in aisle 7
with the flour & dry pancake mix
we smile as we walk past
I think to myself, “what an angel”

neither of us look back
