Can you miss what you never had ?
I do. Actually what I miss is what I thought and dreamed could be. I think they call that a fantasy or a dream or something like that. Wait, I remember it's called a "pipe dream.
Whatever you call it the loss of it does leave an open wound. The kind that will leave a scar no matter what you do. Reality is a cold hard place to land when that dream ends.
It's not something we plan to do to ourselves it's just one of the nastier parts of life. Like ripping off a band aid it hurts, but is best done quickly. Dragging it out only makes the pain last longer.
Yes, you can miss what you never had, just as if it really, truly did happen. Because every time you dreamed of what you wanted. In your heart it became as real as anything could ever be.
