It would have been nice to see you
I think
but the way we’d left things
I’m not all that broken up
that we missed the opportunity.

It could have gone one of two ways.
Sorry,
that was ridiculously dualist of me:
It could have gone in an infinite number of ways,
but I’ll bet it would have been either tepid
or ugly.
The odds
that our former heat
would have been reignited
seems to me small indeed.

Maybe we’ll get another chance
to get it right.
Maybe we’ll see each other again
and it’ll be as wonderful
as it once was
but
I’m betting
it’ll go one of the other infinite ways.
