As Though it Were Yesterday

Eight years have passed and

I still remember the pain in

Your eyes that June afternoon

As though it were yesterday.

 

I wanted to reach out to touch

You – hold you – brush the

Tears from your eyes.

Instead, I sat – motionless –

Silent – fearing your rejection.

 

Every so often, you

Invade my thoughts –

Forcing me to wonder

How different our lives

Might have been if I had.

Great peace of art! I like it although it’s sad it leaves a chink to hapiness, that one has to conclude apart.
