There was a time when it could've happened. Their eyes locked, they knew that that time was so long ago that it could've been in the distant future. Their smiles full of awareness, tears hesitating to join this moment of now. Knowing that it could've been, that it can be. Knowing that it isn't.

All the potential left untarnished, all the hopes left uncaged. Unlimited possibilities, not one clearly labelled, not one set in stone.

A tear did emerge and with it's heaviness it flew into the unknown.
