once i saw a boy.
his face was hidden behind a mask,
but his eyes - they reminded me of yours.
the ring on his left hand
looked just like the one your mother gave you.
for a moment, my heart stopped.
i had not expected to see you here.
the longer i watched,
the more i was convinced it was you.
but when i got home
and let the thought sink in,
i realised something painful:
he did not look like you.
not even close.
i just wanted him to be you.
so bad.
