I saw your face, upturned, longing,
Seeming sad as the sun broke through
And sparkled in your teary eyes.
And without a word between us - I knew you
Knew your saddness, your desire.
In your eyes I saw the loss-
A loved one or, more likely, a lover
Gone - a hole in your world
Filled briefly by the fog
Now empty.
And without speaking still I passed you-
Still staring at the face only you could see.
You didn't notice me as I smiled
And in my heart I wished you well.
