If I never got to see you again

Time and space have always separated us, 

But today I’m wondering what I would do if I never got to see you again.

If you and I could never be in the same room, 

If I couldn’t hold your hand,

Or drown in your warm embrace. 

If what we had was all we had, 

What would I do? 

Would I smile in remembrance of all our beautiful memories?

Would I cry with longing for all the things we didn’t get to do?

Or would all these feelings be intertwined in a web of what was and what could have been. 

What I would do if I never got to see you again?

This post was inspired by some introspection, all based in the restrictions that COVID19 has placed on us all. Boarders are closed and we don’t know for certain when things will go back to normal again. Some of us are lucky to be locked down with family and loved ones but many of us aren’t. I’m no advocate for doomsday theories but I have found myself thinking a lot about what it would mean if these separations were permanent. I have no answers, but I do think what holds true is how important it is to treasure all of life’s moments with the ones that we love because life as you know it may look different tomorrow. 

Keep Shining!
