Couple

 

Felt perhaps I should have

Stopped and said

How seeing you together

Kissing and hugging

Made me think that love

Must be alive and well – yet

How you reminded me of my lover and me

And how in the beginning

We used to be

But upon seeing your faces

I thought better of it

For I recognized you

And he was not your man

Not the one

Who was supposed to be home alone

And sleeping in your bed

And then again

I almost approached you

To inquire about your lover

And what had happened

For it to come to this

But then I decided

I could no longer be him
