Something That Isn't.

We should be in a movie together, you and I.
We'll be star-crossed lovers, bound by fate, beyond all reason and sense.
Hopelessly in love, never leaving one another's embrace.
We'll go through all the trials and tribulations life have to offer
in three month's time.
But of course you'll have to leave, for some reason unexplained
or at least I won't properly understand.
A tear-stained goodbye as you try once more to explain why you have to go,
but I just won't have it.
You're horrible and awful and so many four-letter-words I dare not actually say to your face,
because I love you too much.
You'll leave, I'll squander what life I have left, wondering where you've gone,
what you've done.
And of course, I'll never find another quite like you.
And right before the credits roll
I'll have a divine moment of clarification;
an epiphany so bright and illuminated that I'll see what a fool I've been.
And I'll walk to that pier, sit where we sat.
Talk to the you that isn't there any longer
That never was there to begin with
That was all just a figment in my mind.
And wonder why,
After all these months,
I still continue to think about you.
