Really, What If Really What if What if we’d have actually met Even now So many years after Thinking of our improbable love Even though logically We both knew our love was finished, Even though logically We both knew our love had to be finished I wonder what might have happened If I’d have actually flown from my West coast to your east coast Thinking of our improvable love *If I’d have* actually flown from my West coast to your east coast If we’d have actually met Really What if For the first time If you’d have actually seen me Really What if For the first time I had actually seen you Would we have shaken hands Would we have hugged Would we have briefly hugged With a lightly brushed kiss on the cheek? Really What if We’d have actually met Really What if For the first time together We sat in a public place We sat at a table sipping coffee or tea What if Actually looking at you Actually looking at me Actually together for the first time Would your hand be held in mine Would you have wanted your hand in mine? Would I have wanted your hand in mine? Actually? What if We’d have actually met Would the sight of me to you Would the sight of you to me Would your mannerisms Would my mannerisms Would your smile Would my smile Would the tone of And the sound of your voice Would the tone of And the sound of my voice Would the silent message read within your eyes Would the silent message read within my eyes Would this meeting foster our love Would this meeting bring realism to fantasy What if We’d have actually met Would we both have seen what we had Would we both have seen That our love was not more than fantasy? What if Then Would we have happily parted with a briefly hugged Lightly brushed kiss on the cheek Or… Actually What if we’d have actually met Would our brief meeting… Would the utter futility of our brief meeting… Would the preponderance our truly found love And our inevitable parting factually tear at our hearts Factually tearing at our hearts bring us to tears? What if we’d have actually met? Even now So many years after Thinking of our improbable love Even though logically We both knew our love was finished Even though logically We both knew our love had to be finished. What if What if We’d have actually met? Actually! Really! What if? ©May 3,2014 Mark M Lichterman**

There are always going to be "What ifs" in our lifetime. If you both met then you probably will fall in love and get married; but then you will think of other "What ifs" as well...

We never ceased to wonder.
