Not really a poem, but doesn't look right in any other format. Be warned, this is not happy. Friendship/Romance depending on your view. You should probably have seen Sleepers; hinted at spoilers for that and End of Nights.

I own only the mistakes. Set sometime in the future.

Meant to be

You were meant to always be there.
Maybe not by my side,
Maybe not in the same country,
Maybe we wouldn't see each other for years, decades even;
As long as you were there.
You were meant to always be there.

I'd always known that one day I would lose everyone I'd ever cared about;
I'd lost so many already and I knew that was never going to change:
Even back then.
My mother, my father, and Nigel were long gone.
I'd lost all my old friends and families several times over: building new ones just to watch them be snatched away.
Barney, James, Clara...to name but a few.
I knew that one I was going to lose the others; Bigfoot, Henry, Will.
Someday I would lose Ashley, and I'd even lose John.

But not you.
I wasn't going to lose you.

Now I've lost Bigfoot, Henry, Will. I've lost Ashley, and I've even lost John.
But I wasn't meant to lose you.

Maybe not by my side,
Maybe not in the same country,
Maybe not seeing each other for years, decades even:

But you were meant to always be there.

And now you're not.

I'm sorry Nikola,
I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Didn't want it to end like that, but hey, that's the muse for you. Feedback is much appreciated.
