Once upon a time,
is a nice way to start a perfect story.
One where good beats evil,
and everyone lives happily ever after.

But your story
wasn't like that.
It ended with sadness,
for those you left behind,
and it ended with tears.

Or maybe,
it was supposed to be a perfect story.
Should have been,
could have been,
would have been,
if the author hadn't given up,
decide to move on.

Cutting it short,
and leaving everyone to wonder
if there could have been,
would have been,
should have been,
a different ending.
