Lost Love

I see that look in your eyes. The one that says I want you. And I wish with all my heart that it was true. Because that look is no longer for me but for your new love. It was chance that made me stop here today. And maybe it was chance that made you stop as well. So here we sit, sipping coffee. As you talk about her, I see the smile on your face that I fell in love with. And it hurts to know that I can no longer claim it for me. And as I listen to you, I remember our time together and what finally tore us apart. As much as I love you I cannot be what you need or want. With a last swallow of bittersweet coffee and memories, I wish you much happiness and leave. I feel lighter now as I walk out the door and with a finger I wipe away a lone tear.
