It didn't happen

byScotsman69©

It didn't happen

We never shared
Shostakovich and Beethoven,
never melted together before
Monet or Degas.
It didn't happen.

We never explored
islands and architecture,
nor nourished our children together.
We weren't lifemates.
It didn't happen.

Never wrote and edited
in excitement, for each other.
It was all just
the most heartbreaking illusion.
So it can't have happened,
can it?

It's a beautiful tribute to a connection lost... thanks for sharing. You convey so much with such an economy of words!

I know the feeling

It resonates, but I don't think the last seven words fit the rest.
