It was new year's Eve

And she was told to make a wish

So she closed her eyes

Then stared up to the sky

As the fireworks were set ablaze

Indicating they had made it over with grace

Now she could make her wish

I wish we could meet again

Even after all the pain

He caused me

I know he won't be the same person he was

Because it's been six years since he left

I imagine it will be like this if we see

He would call me and ask

To meet for coffee

I wouldn't decline

Because my curiosity won't let me

'We'll meet by noon at our spot' He'd say

And I'd feel butterflies because it felt the same

Then by noon

I'd put on my best clothes, and shoes

Because even after all the pain

I'm still not over you

I would be 10 minutes late

But He'd laugh saying 'You still haven't changed'

We'd talk about our lives

And he would tell me about all the girls he's dated

While I try my best not to look hurt

Then he would move on to how he works in a good company

While I remind myself "This isn't a competition"

'How about you'

I would be tempted to lie

But then I'd realise it's not needed

I would leave my love life out of it

And tell him how I write poems and books now

But I would not tell him that they are still and always about him

We would move on to lighter topics

But I'd be reminded of the question

That I have always wanted to ask

'Why did you leave

Why didn't you say goodbye

Why come back now

That I'm finally ready to let go?'

He would stare at me dumbfounded

Looking like a criminal caught in the act

Then he'd say

'I didn't have a choice, I had to leave.

I know it doesn't make sense to you

But I swear I had a good reason'

I would shake my head

Knowing all to well

That he was telling a lie

'It's fine, it doesn't matter either way'

'I'm sorry'

I would feel an overwhelming amount of shock

From the words

That just left the mouth

Of the man I used to love and still love

'I forgive you but it's too late for that'

I would try to leave

But he'd hold my hands

And stare at me with pleading eyes

I know it's for the best

Not to let him in again

'Xander, I loved you

I still love you

And I probably will always love you

But I don't want to feel the pain

That being with you brings.

It's for the best'

Now I would be walking towards

And he'd run after me

Then call out my name 'Mia'

I'd turn

'I'm really sorry' he'd say

'I know'

Then I'd enter her car and drive home

Without a single regret

After she had told her friend her wish

Her friend asked

'Why didn't you wish to end up with him'

She smiled, looked up to the sky and said

'It's for the best'
