I saw you looking at her
in the midst of festivity,
when everybody else
are shouting and jumping,
joggling and rapping,
all that there is to say.

I saw you looking at her
and your eyes are fixed
as the moment froze
and I know how you’ve felt.
It was exactly how I felt.

I saw you looking at her
and I was crushed in an instant
like a thunderbolt
like a thunderbolt
