His Secret
/It was long ago and now again
Their lives crisscross
In social media he stumbled into her
The first love that carved deeply in his heart
It is far away yet so near
Staring at her on screen he feels as if
He could extend his hand to hold her
Alas she was in someone else’s embrace
It is just a light click away to reach her
Yet his finger is heavier than a ton
As it is interlocked with another woman’s
At last his sanity beats his temptation
It might stir up a ripple
But a destructive wave is also possible
A risk he dare not take
Rather he just follows her quietly in the cyberspace
