Do you ever miss 

The friends
[you never had]

The mischief
[you never did]

The moments
[you never shared]

The love
[you never felt]

The life
[you never lived]


Do you ever dream

Of a peace
[that isn't fragile]

Of a world
[that isn't mad]

Of a promise
[that isn't broken]

Of a future
[that isn't doomed]

Of a moon
[that ever glows]

I dream with you.


A/N: My submission for week #2 of the Poets Pub's "Poet of the Year" contest 2020. The challenge was to write a poem inspired by paintings by E. E. Cummings.
