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
