A/N: This is my first HIMYM fanfic ever, so please let me know what you think.

Maybe

Maybe this is how it's supposed to be. Maybe he's supposed to get married to Quinn and live happy with her forever while I just stand on the side wishing I was her. It's been years since we dated and I still love him. It's not like I didn't love Kevin, but he wasn't the one I wanted. And Ted... Ted is more like a brother to me these days.

Maybe I should just leave. Travel the world and fall in love with some stranger. Or maybe I'm supposed to date boy after boy, but eventually die alone. Maybe I'll go to Vegas and marry someone I meet after a night of a little to much alcohol. Maybe I'll even fall in love with someone at first sight.

Or maybe me and Barney are made for each other. Maybe he just got lost somewhere on the way. Maybe... just maybe we'll end up together tonight.
