If life was a Disney+ movie

I would never have made the mistake
that I did. I never would have said
that I loved you; never would have
fallen for your trap.

If life was a Disney+ movie, 
there would be no pandemic. 
There would be no virus
that caught hold of my 
aunt and uncle once; there would be
no endless stream of 
COVIDCOVIDCOVID inside my head.

If life was a Disney+ movie,
you would still love me. And
we would still talk and you would
still call me a nickname that
a friend of mine calls me now, only 
when it comes out of his lips,
I think of you.

If life was a Disney+ movie, 
everything would be perfect. I
would be perfect. But perfection
has never existed and
will never exist. 

I would still love you.
You would still love me. 
We would have met sometime
in the future, just the way
we planned it. In your
hometown, meeting your
friends and family and 
spending every possible moment
together
as people in love do.

But, sadly, life is not
a Disney+ movie.
