when our hands touched
a feeling of longing was returned to my fingertips
and my heart grew twice as big
my eyes widened, and so did yours
time froze
my hands fit perfectly into yours
the clock snapped and you let go
and then you ran to her
you helped her up and sang her love songs
from the smile on your lips
my heart shriveled up and blew away as ashes in the wind
you saw me so vulnerable
with tears grazing my cheeks
and yet you didn’t say a word
because you love her;
you love her.
