I wonder what it would feel like to wake up beside him, to be the person he looks for in a crowded room, and to be loved without having to wonder if I ever truly mattered.
If such a life exists, I hope I get to be his girl there. No missed chances, no silent goodbyes, no wishing for things that were never meant to happen. Just him and me, in a story that doesn’t end before it even begins.
Perhaps, in this lifetime, I was only meant to admire him from afar, never knowing what it feels like to be his.
