Mine

~

He was mine.


Unbeknownst to the man, he was mine

He had found me,

And I go by the ironic phrase "finders keepers, losers weepers"

So he was mine

A glistening drop escapes my eye,

Shocked,

I quickly blink..and the moment is gone.


I wasn't quite sure,

Was this lonely tear a result of joy, relief, sadness?


Or was it just my imagination running wild.
