We were perfect
a match approved by the stars
and the whole galaxy
I saw you in my life
my present, my future,
and everything in between
I did all I could contrive
to make you see me,
want me, and need me
And till this day,
I don’t know why
you didn’t choose me
Your smile
still gladdens my heart
your face
still haunts my dreams
your voice
is one I will always miss
