Overheard

23/12/2020 - Poem a Day



I overheard you talking

You didn’t know I was there

I didn’t let on that I knew

I wouldn’t even dare



You told her you loved her

Though I already surmised as much

From your barely disguised overtures

Flowers, lunch and such



I don’t know what she said

But I know it made you smile

Bigger than I had seen before

It really lit up your dial



I wish that you’d admit

Your feelings for her are true

You remind me of your father

Neither of you have a clue
