Struck

It took one second,
One heart beat,
One nod of your head.
You saw me after a year of silence,
Hands entwined with another man's,
You gave me a half-hearted smile,
While I notice your hand in her hand.

Us, watching the sunset,
Cuddling under a plaid blanket,
I remember it like yesterday,
And I am struck.
Because now as I stare,
The same arms that once protected me,
Are wrapped around another girl,
The same warmth that once made me feel loved,
Is the source of the smile on her face.

I am struck,
From the sudden pain in my chest.
I am struck,
For I never knew I still felt the same,
Until now that I'm looking at you again.
And I know from those eyes,
You feel the same as I am.
