i saw an ad in the paper,
and i wanted to answer it.

wanted:
someone to look at me
and at a glance,
take my worries away and let me know i'm loved.

but i didn't,
and now i am left to wonder if i missed out,
if they did,
if we both did,
or if i am better for not having looked down that path.
and i will never know the answer.
