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.

So happy that you enjoyed the piece. Thank you for reading.
Great peace of art! I like it although it’s sad it leaves a chink to hapiness, that one has to conclude apart.
Thank you so much, Katalyn.
