Sound of a Heartbreak


It was only a moment--
The shared glance...smirk exchanged
Acknowledgement of something...more

We finished lunch;
Each other's sentences...

Intimate small talk for two,
At my favorite spot

Love, it cloaked us in warmth
Cooed us in happiness;
Made me blissfully unaware

Until we passed her table
Until I caught fingers trace

It was only for a moment--
In silence, something inside me,

Broke.
