Last night - I see her again
She is engaged to my friend
She seems to have withered with time
Her beauty is still etched in my mind
We talk a bit and talk some more
We connect like we never did before
Her eyes are puffy, she looks strained
The conversation dissolves our pain
Suddenly all Jealousy evaporates
And is replaced by a fuzzy feeling
Somehow I feel glad
That my love was unrequited
The mystery and charm of the unknown
Is far more alluring than what we own
And I am smitten with the thought
That some love stories are best
left unwritten
