BtVS Drabble Prompt: First Meeting

I don't know why this one gave me fits and wouldn't work until now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If Darla didn’t meet him fever bright. Instead she coughed to death and was forgotten.

If Liam didn’t meet her laughing drunk. Instead he wed and regretted and drank to death.

If Drusilla didn’t meet him sweetly pious. Instead she kept visions locked behind lowered lids, prayed to death and was beloved.

If William didn’t meet her angrily embarrassed. Instead he loved his mother, wrote to death and was unremarked.

If they didn’t meet. If they didn’t rage. If they didn’t burn or fight or love and hate with all their passion and all their strength.

If they just lived…

How ordinary their lives would have been, how unremarked their deaths.

Very well done.

Lovely.
