If Fate Were Kinder
White, Dave. Psychedelic Sunflower. August 18, 2024, Dave White Illustrations.
If fate were kinder,
By now, we would be holding hands.
In each other’s arms.
staring on both eyes,
Locking lips,
And laughing to the contentment of our hearts.
If fate were kinder,
We would have dreamt of our dreams.
And loved fully.
Feel that deep ecstasy and surrender.
Be drowned by eternal bliss.
If fate were just kinder.
