Original Submission by Diana Saad

Title: Uncrossed Paths

Could I have been your maybe?

Did I walk by too fast?

Those times when we were both lonely,

The longing refused to pass.

Hadn’t I taken the hints lightly

Would you still hide behind the mask?

Oh, foolish hearts.

Oh, mindless fools.

Eyes have spoken,

the unspoken smiles.

Stars have crossed

the uncrossed paths.

Stars have crossed

the uncrossed ones.
