Mr & Mrs Star

In the bustle of our daily grind,  
I glimpsed a face from another time.  
Two decades past, in high school's glow,  
A crush, a dream, a heart aflow.  

Fate's twist brought us side by side,  
In the workplace's relentless stride.  
Eyes met, old embers started to burn,  
A silent spark, a shy return.  

But alas, our moment was fleeting,  
Life's cruel hand, without repeating.  
The love tension lingered there,  
A bittersweet ache, a tender snare.  

For he, my crush, my youthful flame,  
Was taken too soon, his final claim.  
Our paths converged, but could not align,  
A love story lost, a silent sign.  

Yet in my heart, he'll always be,  
A cherished memory, pure and free.  
Though parted by life's fleeting breath,  
In my thoughts, he'll dance until death.
