the store

we went to the store the other day.
we walked passed one another and i wondered to myself,
what it would be like if i didn't know you.

would music sound as sweet
or be as important?

would i still stare at the stars and wonder
and wish for impossible things on slow moving planes?

would i ever have felt so insignificant
yet needed on such a constant basis?

would i miss the way you kissed me
even if it was totally unexpectedly quick?

would i have met someone in the interim 
who appreciated me and loved me more than you?

would i ever miss the way you smell
and the way your scent lingers around me
hours after we've parted?

would i be a different person entirely
having not met you,
having not experienced the intriguing and frustrating sides of you?

would i be thankful that you had never come in to my life; 
had not inspired me in so many ways,
had not taught me so much about myself,
how much i can handle,
what i'm capable of, 
how i can be more than who i am or was?

would i miss you?

we went to the store the other day.
we walked passed one another and i wondered to myself,
what it would be like if i didn't know you.

i'm glad i don't know.
