sometimes

You didn't fuck things up...
no more than I would have,
I am quite sure.

I would have to say
while things could have been
much more than they were
it probably is a good thing
they ended where they did.

Putting a person upon a pedestal
rarely works out,
how can a person ever live up to
what someone else has built them up to?

That being said,
all I ever really wanted
was to be just me,
with just you.

No pretense. No crutches.
No worries of not being good enough.

I'm not sure that ever would have happened,
things being as they were.

Still, sometimes I wonder...
Those "might have been" moments,
how they linger.
