He sees her in the corner of his eye,

splashes of colour on a passer by.

He beams a smile, a worthy invite,

as she glides on by this giver of light.

Inhaling sweet air, she smells of roses,

fragrant as a spring day, it encloses

visions of balmy days, chasing through grass.

Emotions and feelings he must surpass.

His face crumbles as she turns a corner.

Disappointment fills his heart, a mourner

for love he could have had, but never did.

Strong emotions he knows must be kept hid.
