Walk into a gas station. Saw your car parked next to mine, but I wouldn't know until later.
Eye contact, smile is only natural, and break it. Until i notice you smiling back.
I don't know you, but you exist, and now in my mind, for the time inhabit my thoughts, infect my mind.
Reconnect, now our smile sincere, a general love, mainly for existing. And it still hasn't broken, though you are miles away, and out of my life forever.
I heard you laugh with the cashier, I saw you smile and wave to me as you drove away. But what were you thinking about?
You don't know who I am, but I will forever be your friend.
But what if we'd met? Could we have stayed that way?
If I had taken a moment to say "hi, my name is Beth", would we have continued to stay in our state of unconditional friendship?
Images of a life that won't be, flashing through my mind, memories of the future that I know can't be right. Of movies and laughter, and children, and eventually growing old, and dying. None of this will happen, because I didn't spare you one moment, and one breath.
I miss you friend, though we never actually were. I love you friend, with the most love that I can ever give to someone I could never meet. I care for you, and pray for you friend, for your safety and prosperity in life. I hope for you, friend, that you will follow Gods plan, and trust him every step. And I will you friend, love and joy, and everything you could ever have in the world.
Except for me.
