I saw you
I saw you standing across,
My heart skipped a beat.
I could have said hi,
But my mind was in retreat.

The last we talked was when you were mine,
Memories flooded back, bittersweet.
I longed to reach out, to say hello,
But my feet remained rooted to my seat.

The distance between us felt so vast,
Though physically we were close.
The words I wanted to say so badly,
Were stuck in my throat, like a rose.

I watched as you turned and walked away,
Knowing deep down it was for the best.
But the ache in my heart remained,
A feeling that refused to rest
Maybe it's all a godamn test,
I hope to give my best.
