I loved you,

Not silently.

We met

As usual,

I held your hand,

Kissed your lips,

Looked deep within your eyes

And thought my future

Secure.

Today.

Somehow,

Today,

This,

Has disappeared.

Your lips are unresponsive,

Your eyes hold

No warmth,

You say,

You have found another,

I wish for yesterday.

And as these years have passed

I think of you,

I have found another,

And hope,

I shall never,

Have to think,

Of yesterday.

So,

Live happily,

Think not, of yesterday.
