I had a dream.
We never met.
I turned a different corner.
One that did not lead to you.
If only dreams were true.
Years wasted,
regret never tasted so good.
I wept in your presence.
I waited for deliverance,
hoping for tomorrow.
Yet, I cried when you left.
Now you have passed from this world to the next.
A different corner for you, and I can turn a different corner too.
