We Could Have Been
A/N: This just popped into my head, sad little Captain America. Its Movieverse and feedback is always loved. Thanks for reading!
We could have been happy.
I know we could have been. If I had thought it out better, I could have saved the day, and gone back to her. Peggy. We could have had that date. We could have had a life together.
It doesn't matter where she is now. Wither she got married, had kids, or sat around and waited for me. I don't know what I would have preferred. I don't want to know. I don't want to know if she is alive or dead. It won't change anything. I was late. I missed out. Like always.
My whole life is full of lost moments.
We could have been happy. I only hope she is….was. God, I don't know how to think about her.
I'm on a bed. Something that they bought me. These people think that an apartment is a bandaid for all that Hydra has taken from me. That I have lost. My life, Peggy, everything is worth just a small apartment to them. I am more than that. I'm a solider. I'm Captain America. An idea, a Legend. People need me. Want me. I want to be that idea, that legend for them.
Some days are just harder than others. Seeing young couples in love, just remind me how out of place I am. How I had the chance to have something.
I wonder what life had been like if I had made it to that date. The thought is always painful.
We could have been happy.
I hate what they have done. What they have done to me, to Peg. To us. To what we could have had. But this also drags me to another thought, was there an us? Even if it haven't worked out, I would have liked to try. I don't know.
All I can think is that we could have been happy.
I really believe that to be true. But it doesn't matter now.
None of it does. I'm Captain America. The perfect solider.
But some days I can't help but wonder what her lips would have tasted like after a night of dancing.
