The Third Wheel

Couldn't be more happy for the two souls in love,

I watched them,

Lost in their complete world,

Their happiness, the laughter, the joy,

My mind swirls in memories,

Of my scarred past,

When I too was a believer

Of love's eternal cast.

I walk with them laughing along,

Trying to let go

Of your memories,

I can’t take this anymore,

Out of the blue you stepped in,

But now it is all a blur, with a pain within,

Again, it is them with their gestures of love,

Again I smile, seeing the light in my friend’s eyes.

I begin to wonder,

Life’s wrong turns and love’s twists,

I will never love again, nor be deceived by love’s tempting feel,

I will be alone and be the third wheel.
