We Never Had Coffee.

Just about everything we do impacts our lives. We have a lot of choices to make and different paths that we can take. Sometimes you may find yourself wondering how life could be drastically different if one step was a taken in another direction or if you had chosen to do something else that one day. Sometimes I think about this. What would have happened if this person decided not to text me after all? What if this person didn't live in another state? How would things be different if I had said something that night? What would it be like now if we had actually went and had coffee?

I am a believer that pretty much everything happens for a reason. Whether it is to make us smile, teach us a lesson, remind us of something, and more. But sometimes I can't help to wonder what it would be like if other steps were taken, different words were said, and we did what we thought about doing.

Here is a poem that carries this thought of "what if."

We Never Had Coffee.
I hate that we never had coffee.
We never got past the initial flirt
and the beginning texts.
We never did what's supposed to come next.
Never went on a date.
Never went to get coffee.
Maybe you forgot me.
Didn't give me a chance.
Now we have to wonder.
You don't want to hurt her.
I can think about it
when I sit up in my bed.
Wonder if the same thing
is going through your head.
That we should've had coffee.
We never had coffee.

Sparkle & Shine.
