If you hadn't smiled when you saw
someone with the same style as him,
if your heart didn't beat fast
at the thought of her,
if you've never gotten lost
at the thought of his smile,
if you've never talked
to the stars about her,
if you don't remember
every little thing he ever liked,
if you never fixed yourself
each time you passed by her house,
if you were satisfied
with the time you spent together,
then maybe, just maybe,
you never loved him like I did,
holding him in the dark,
as the night creeped in,
you've never kissed her
on the cheek,
and reassured her
that it's all gonna be fine.
You never craved for him
as much as I did.

Personal Notes :-
Because it cannot be my book if there isn't a poem giving such strong I-can-treat-you-better vibes, I'm afraid :')
'The Red Heart' of Kaizen ≈ 'All The If(s)' of Ikigai.
Thank you for listening,
Take care.
Love, Hacs.
