a puff of smoke

Date: 9/19/2021

if, many years ago, things took a different path I wonder how we might’ve turned out would you still be my best friend in the world? a woman with ladybugs in her hair? or would you have turned as bitter and cold as the rest of them? and what would have become of me, I wonder should I have still been your child would I still be the kid who loves animals more than people? would I let my daydreams float me away, until I was nothing but a puff of smoke?
