i often think about the guy i didn’t choose-
\nthe one who blew my mind.
\nthe one who shattered all my fears and who really showed me how to love.
\nand though there was no pomp and circumstance he often comes to mind;
\ni can sit in quiet retrospect and think about specific moments in time.
\nPiled up like freeze-dried memories, they often take my psyche on a trip
\nand i allow myself to travel back down memory lane-
\nthe long conversations spent acknowledging life-
\nlearning each other’s likes and dislikes-
\njust being there, always in the moment-
\nalways present.
\nMaybe that’s what I miss,
\nmaybe that is what makes me wonder…
\nthat road not taken-
\nsometimes i can’t help but wonder
\nwhere it may have led. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
