If Only I Had Known Then

Some people in our lives are lost to us because we didn’t listen carefully enough to what they were saying at the time, and so we missed out on the most beautiful romance. It wasn’t that we didn’t love each other, but that back then we never realized we could. We didn’t understand that the seemingly insignificant question, “What are you doing?” really meant, “I miss you.” Pure memories are the hardest things to erase from our minds. The promises and misunderstandings, the choices and helplessness we experienced back then seem so foolish and naive now, yet also so innocent. Who was it who said, “If you’re not foolish and infatuated, it isn’t love”? No matter who was right or wrong back then, I believe that meeting was destined to become the thing we would treasure most in our memories. I believe nothing so pure will ever come again.
