The Pain of Losing You

We met at work.

If I had worked elsewhere...anywhere
other than the place you were,
this road I walk would be a different road.

This heart would never
have skipped so many beats
or mourned with so much grief.

These arms would never
have wrapped around
three beautiful children.

I would never have felt unbridled passion
or swam in the deep blue of your eyes.

I would never have been forced to endure
your rants
or listen to your delusions.

I would never have been forced to say goodbye.

You might still be here
had I worked elsewhere.

Perfect love might have found you,
rescued you from your demons,
stayed with you despite your pain.

My life would be different.
Nothing would be the same.
