Past Lives:

Past lives.

What a movie.

About what ifs.

About roads traveled.

About words unsaid.

About feelings not communicated.

And regret.

About timing.

A lot of life is timing.

Circumstances.

Luck.

Small decisions.

Two people could be perfect for each other.

Yet it doesn’t matter.

They may not end up together.

Doesn’t mean that hole ever gets filled.

Doesn’t mean it gets easier for either side.

But there’s always that nagging feeling.

About what if.

What if I stayed?


What if I didn’t move?

What if I visited?

What if I saw her when we were both single?

What if I told her how I feel?

What if I said something?

Would it have mattered?

Would it have made the difference?

We’ll never know.

How many stories unwritten?

Romances never realized?

Lives intertwined that never happened?

Heartbreaking.

And yet reality.

What a story.

What an ending.

What a film.

Watch Past Lives.
