PoemI can’t believe it.
It’s…
him…
her…
Our eyes meet.
Our eyes meet.
I’d never forget those eyes.
Her eyes are unforgettable.
I’m drawn to him and I don’t know why.
I’m drawn to her and I don’t know why.
It’s as though I know him.
It’s as though I know her.
I feel his pain.
I know her loss.
I know his loss.
I feel her pain.
And the traffic starts moving.
And the traffic starts moving
and we’re
she’s
gone
gone.
I look behind
and see him
her
fade
into
the
distance
