What Might Have Been
Relationships
Looks back on a relationship that ended but was nonetheless sacred and real. The speaker is not mourning what was lost so much as honouring what existed — 'I was reminiscing just the other day.' The 'what might have been' register is present in the gratitude and wistfulness: the sense that this love deserved more time.
