Opportunity Costs

Had we never met—

I once had a list, long and true.
of how much I would have
missed … without you.
.

Yet now this list is vague, askew.
What is it again, that I would have
missed … without you?

With you, I may have missed

Another, who about me did care
who really would’ve loved me
then and there.
.

Someone, I might now perceive,
someone who might still be around
Now that I no longer see
.

only you and me.
