• There they are,
    Walking by as in a dream.
    Hand in hand,
    Looking happy,
    So happy.

    They pass me by.
    A rush of air so sweet with love.
    I’m alone again,
    And feeling angry,
    So angry.


    So many pairs
    With so many cares,
    But no one cares for me.
    Two’s and two’s
    And “I love you”’s,
    But “I” is never “we.”


    I turn around.
    They’re in the distance, down the street.
    I hear her laugh,
    So light,
    And bright.

    I turn again
    Blink back the tears that always come.
    I am alone.
    And sad,
    So sad.


    Passionate kisses
    And separate blisses
    Make every beautiful day.
    So many lovers
    Make shimmering colors
    While I am a shade of gray.


    Doomed not to feel
    What others see.
    I know love is real,
    …Just not for me
