written from the soul

To keep

It was the moment I saw you that day
That day...
The air stilled around me
My laughter cut short
I saw you
Really and truly saw you
The memories I pushed to the back of my brain
Resurfacing
And you saw me
I saw you before this
A mere passing glance
A stranger I passed on the street
But on that day
Our eyes connected from across the room
And I stayed there
Taking you in piece by piece
In a time that I was still fixing my broken heart
Piece by piece
Then I saw her
You moved on
You were happy
Shouldn't I be happy?
But why did it hurt that you were perfectly fine
And I was still grieving over the lost of us
When our eyes broke apart
My heart broke again
You were no longer mine
You were never mine
To keep
