Missed Love

I loved you once

You loved me too

Today we are strangers

Bitter with each other over things that were said

Anger over things that were never said

We both held back and didn’t speak our truths

Today we are strangers in the streets

Passing each other as if we never knew each other

Truth be told we never really knew each other

Even in love, we weren’t truthful to each other

We hid who we were and who we wanted to be

We saw each other’s potential and that’s who we fell in love with

That person wouldn’t exist for another ten years

Had we met later in our lives it would’ve worked out

We would have been the person we saw in each other

Timing is everything, even in love

Segundo Juan Devora
