He could envision loving her forever
Even though she paid him no attention
Life is surely full of plenty of surprises
Little did he know, she wasn’t one of them
Often, she noticed him gazing at her
.
Winter and spring came and went as usual
Rejection sometimes hurts nearly forever
It was becoming clear she had no interest
Time became a guard to his emotional cell
Echoing in the hollows of his broken heart
Regrets of lost time had begun haunting him
She freed him when she married … another
