One-Way Good-Bye
I remember so many years
ago bare moment ago.
When I went forth compelled
to secretly say good-bye.
On street corner
cross from bank.
You did not know I was
or why I was bound there.
Watching building as I had
spied magnetic drab building.
Many times journeyed past
daily work’s journey to or throw.
Guessed second floor
you work on.
My heart
breaks anew.
My heart broke
repeatedly
without seeing you.
As minutes passed
ever slowly by.
With all effort
again again I tried.
To make the break.
For the last.
For the last.
Time to say good-bye.
You never knew.
Each time I saw you.
How my pulse heart
missed each reckless beat.
Love I never told
never spoke of
burned ever cruelly;
oh so deep.
Is that you I see
within office window framed?
Moving to and throw.
You do not see me
this as always passes so.
Your working your weekly computer
directing departmental managerial flow.
