a glance
i caught you
i looked away but
a smile
but
i turned away
you were so
perfect
tell her!
no you idiot, don't.
i wanted to.
i really did.
life happened
as it does
how very mundane
like the workings of a clock
but time stopped.
i saw you again
with another man
your hands in his
the hands stopped ticking
my heart stopped beating
i wanted to tell you
but i didn't.
