What could have been?
He watched her, thinking of what could have been and how his life ended up like this.
She looked stunning in that white dress, full of grace and beauty.
Her smile could light up a room and in some ways it did.
The man in her arms, holding her as if she was the most unique thing on this world.
They were dancing like they didn't have a care.
So in love.
He couldn't tear his eyes away form the happy couple
Even through, he felt like his heart was breaking over and over again.
He kept thinking that could have been us.
But he missed his chance
When he pushed her away
She moved on
He never did
He goes outside to catch a breathe of fresh air
Trying to keep his composer
He looks up at the stars
And wishes, he was anywhere but here
He hears her before he sees her
He feels a hand on his shoulder
As he looks down and into her eyes
He sees the concern she always has for him
Always caring about him, even when he put her through hell
With all the maybe's
Now in the peace and quite
He lets the mask drop
His eyes shine so bright with hurt, pain, love and understanding
An understanding that she will never be his
As he looks in her eyes
He sees her eyes becoming glassy with tears
He knows she knows
This will be the last time
She will ever see him
She knows it's cruel for him to be here
She has to let that final piece go
With a heavy heart
She whispers "Go"
As a tear runs down his cheek
He turns and walks away
But this time he doesn't look back
Leaving her once again
Knowing he will never come back to the city he once protected
To the team he once knew
To the woman he will always love
As she watches him walk away from her one final time
She knows
As a single tear runs down her face
She can't help but think
Why is life so cruel?
Why bring this man into her life,
Just so he can be ripped away from her
They were star-crossed lovers
Soul mates
Forever bound together
But they could never be together
Forever injuring this pain
Over and over again
Until one day
Hopefully they get it right.
