Maybe.
Sometimes I wonder what it would've been like if we never had that fight. What art we would have on the walls, yours and mine overlapping, photos of each other blurry and laughing. How many plants we bought and have let overcrowd our floor, how many poems I'd read to make you sleepy, how many breakfasts we would spend saying "After this we go right back to bed." We were always trying to make the other person laugh but I picture more often just how you'd look in my kitchen, stirring a coffee and humming tunelessly. Maybe we would spend every Friday dancing. Maybe you'd have taught me play games or how to sing and I'd have shown you how to ride bikes. Maybe we would have a dog or a cat or an engagement ring. Maybe we would have a secret stash of your favorite candy. Maybe you would have loved my sister and maybe she would have loved you too. Maybe.
