Bits and pieces

What could have been

For the longest time
I could not understand
why my thoughts would
wander off to places I had
never been; to the places
where you belong.

And it took some time
for it to sink in, for
the realization had
hit long before: it was
not you, but the idea
of what could have been,
that had me in a choke-hold.

Now, I have never been
more sure that I am right
where I am supposed to
be, and that true love will
find its way to me.
