He was a snack,
but she didn't have an appetite
for him.

We are so close
yet so far
is this pandemic a strong dose,
or just a lasting scar?

I've seen a thousand pages,
thousand letters,
thousand stars,
thousand tears,
thousand birds.

But I feel complete upon
seeing my first
thousand views.

He thought he was immortal,
until her smile
killed him.

His eyes met hers
and then he knew
it was checkmate.

So many unfinished dreams in these eyes,
So many tears; so many cries.
I wonder about how life has gone...
Will my eyes ever see dawn?

My room has never looked so clean,
And today, I have all the time
To chase that unfinished dream.
I never knew my dad could sing
Until we sang together to his favourite song,
This social distancing
Has given me one brilliant thing
My family.
