Fleeting Moments
Vekunda Kakujaha Apr 2019
Is that a pang of jealousy I feel?
As you walk past me with a guy that isn’t me
Flash of a quick smile?
Asif to let me know it’s my fault
That you are with him and not me
The world chooses this very instance to freeze
The look on your face
Etched into my mind
The look of a woman reluctantly
Moving on with her life

In that instance
Wishing it was me holding your hand
Wanting to make you mine
Am left with a burning feeling of regret
Regretting all those fleeting moments we shared
Fleeting moments where we were the only ones that existed
Fleeting moments where the world around us didn’t matter
Fleeting moments that we wished would last forever
Fleeting moments I was supposed to make last forever

So I am left with pangs of jealousy
And a feeling of regret
As I remember your smile
Hidden within our fleeting moments
