I’m sorry, stillborn encounter. You existed and then were dead (at least in my head). Hesitation’s often deadly: oh, how I wish we’d met. But it was too late. Call it whatever you want, I don’t believe in fate. All I got was this nickel for a keepsake and now I must live with it, all of the future me who’ll never be. See? That’s what keeps me up at night when I cannot sleep. Wondering why we wouldn’t meet, questioning the path I chose. But hey, that’s Life. Anything goes.
