Even from far away you could see it.
The way they looked at each other,
The subtle glances,
The curve of the smile on their cheeks,
The occasional touches
They way one would reach up
And brush the hair out of the other’s face
They way they noticed no one around them
Holding one another in a spotlight
They neither knew nor cared what was going on
And for a moment I was envious
And longed for someone who melted the world away
The way they melted into each other
I envied their oblivion; their other worldliness
Their need for each other
All while I stood here alone watching
A lonely soul in a sea of people
With no human connections.
