to: emma
i finally
saw you again
today.
your eyes looked
empty
even though you
wore your smile.
it pained me to see
your misery
but i was happy to
see you,
even if from afar.
you looked breathtaking.
you always do.
you probably didn't want
anyone to notice,
but i could see
right through your mask
of friendly smiles and
piercing laughs.
i can always see
who you really are.
sadness is deep within you
and i wish you
could let me help,
emma.
