Then

Your marriage is your life now.
But then was different.
You used to wear a tie
every single day.
I never knew you, but
I saw you wholly pure and
freshly shorn then.
You looked at me
and something
deep and dark
screamed from within your eyes.
Nothing is different now for me.
My life has yet to
progress past what I
felt stabbing inward over you then,
and I regret not telling you
all I had pent up for you.
And your marriage is your life now,
but we've never said a word
so you don't know any better.
