“and i’d like to think
that if we never speak again,
one day you’ll look back on me fondly
as somebody who didn’t fear the future
when they pictured you by their side.
i’d like to think
you’ll remember me
as somebody who loved you
the best they could,
even if it wasn’t always what
you wanted or needed.
i’d like to think
you’ll remember me
as somebody you could
have spent your life with,
if only the timing had been right.
if only we’d worked for it
just a little bit
harder.”
- catarine hancock, author of shades of lovers and sometimes i fall asleep thinking about you
