Grief
And then
to catch a train
unaware
we might have been friends
It seems the most unfair truth of all:
the idea that
it was always five minutes too late

Those lost moments.
Yes. Chance and happenstance and things just missingthe mark by a little bit, things you maybe never even know about, or if you do, that little sliver of what went wrong, can it be something as small as that to ruin so much?
I think those near misses or the idea that we were by chance at the wrong place at the wrong time really affects us.
Yes. I can think of a couple of instances, not necessarily life altering by any means, or any big deal, but still…I am regretful even decades later.
Indeed. That is always the flipside to serendipity. What about all of those times when we were not in the right place at the right time, all those missed chance meetings and opportunities?
This is the kind of thinking that can be some of the saddest there is, I think. The “what might have been”.
