Rumple's p.o.v

You crossed my path briefly and quickly

on the street. Our small talk was quite lovely

and silly. You were my greatest blessing

and loss in this valley of dry bones and

bittersweet memories. There wasn't any

bad blood between us, but we were surely busy bodies.

I should've never allowed the white noise to

interfere and distract me. I wasn't ready to set

you free, but Father Time had other plans and dreams

for you. I watched you walk off into the sunset

yet again. Many unspoken thoughts weighed

heavily on my mind and heart. I couldn't stop

wondering what could've should've would've

been.
