This Silent Love: Part Two Poem by Sangeetha Pandaram

I saw you in the park today
But you were with another
So I hugged my thoughts to myself
And watched you with secret eyes
And
I imagined us together
Floating high above the city
Singing the songs of our childhood
Deep into the night
Until
I plucked a star from the midnight sky
and placed it in your hand
As a reminder of a Love
that will always be a Light
even in the darkest night

I saw you in the park today
And this time
You saw Me too.
