Fallen

 the one you didn't meet
the smile you didn't return
the name you didn't ask
the date you didn't set
the conversation you didn't have
the laughter you didn't share
the stories you didn't tell
the next dates you didn't plan
the trips you didn't take
the sunsets you didn't watch
the emails you didn't exchange
the hand you didn't hold
the kisses you didn't steal
the warmth you didn't miss
the sleeping face you didn't memorize
the intimacy you didn't know
the love you didn't risk

fallen...
without ever leaving the ground
