The One

I am the knot in your throat.

The dark place in your heart where the wounds hide.

I am the one you never wanted and almost had.

I am the one who comes before THE ONE.

I was never meant to be permanent.

I am temporary.

Times drags me away from those I love,

And the moment they think they love me too

They are swept away in the sea of hands I'll never hold

And kisses I'll never have

And poetry I'll never share.

I am the one you'll remember

Because parts of me are in everyone you meet.

I will never be THE ONE, but I am still one.
