They Never Knew

He watched her and each passing day;
He memorized her walk, her sway
And how her face was framed in wisps
Of golden hair and how her lips
Were like the petals of a rose
On sunlit morn ‘neath dews repose.
He watched her and each passing day;
He sighed and turned, then walked away.

She watched him and each passing week;
She noticed dimples on his cheeks
And how his eyes, in office light,
Reminded her of clouds at night.
She glimpsed the strength of his two hands
And noted lack of wedding band.
She watched him and each passing week;
She dreamed, but never did she speak.

They watched each other through the years.
They noted joy. They saw the tears.
They passed each other in the hall,
But never really talked at all.
They loved each other from afar;
Too scared to hope or wish on stars.
They never really took the chance
And in life’s crazy circumstance…

They watched each other through the years
Though never met, due to their fears.
So as life goes, they aged, they died
And then were buried… side by side.

I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S

I remember this, Ruth...

and its poignancy brings one
to tears...

and then hopefully...

to action.

~ Star-crossed lovers passing like ships in the night. Now they can be together and love among the stars!

Lover-ly write, Ruth! Don't be such a stranger! I have been missing your poetic presence at Pip Place! Mind you, I have your book of poetry at my bedside!

Loving hug,
Linda
