past the would's,
could's,
should's,

past the second
day without
a cigarette,

the last
unfinished text,
the last
"I'm sorry,"
the last
"I love you."

past the
first time
"I'm sorry,
I love you."

is just a ****** sentence

"I would do anything..."
lacks Action

"Could we make this work..."
lacks Passion

past the would,
could, what should be,

The first time it is
whatever it's become.
