i wonder if you still think about me
the way i still think about you
i wonder if late at night
you ponder what could've been
how we could've turned out
how different our lives would've been
if they stayed intertwined for longer
i'd like to think of you as my invisible string
the person i forever have a connection to
no matter how difficult it is to see
it still exists
but it's looking more like
our destiny is to run parallel
two pieces of string
forever unable to meet
held captive by their own fates
in the absence of their joint fate being created
and if that tiny overlap
was all the connection we are ever going to get
i hope it was worth it
i don't know if it was destiny
or fate that brought us together
but whichever had the frozen heart
to rip us apart so violently
i pray that there's a reason behind it
because right now
i don't understand
and i don't know if i ever will
i can't blame you for what happened
you can't control how you feel
like how i can't control how i react
but god what i would give
to have you back for one night
"have you back"
it's a funny phrase
because technically
it's impossible to have something "back"
if you never had it to begin with
just like how you were never mine
you could've been
you should've been
and if i had it my way
you absolutely would've been
but could've should've would've
they're all just possibilities
with a probability of none.
