unopened

you bought a gift
for her
birthday.
a wonderful gift,
wrapped in
silver paper,
a red ribbon
around the box.
you wanted to see
the look in
her ireland eyes
when she opened
it, unable to
say a word,
speechless at how
nice a gift it
was. but she'll
never know.
she's moved on
to another
point of view,
someone
with a different
gift, not
the one from you.
