How does a man miss
A girl he's never met?

By sitting alone
And gazing at the stars.

By watching TV
For too many hours a day.

By waiting for his mail
To get the response to the letter he never sent.

By living a hollow life.
No friends, no family, no love.

He sits, watches, waits, and continues living.
He hopes to see her --
At the grocery store, next to
The snow peas and pierogies.
At the book store, amidst
The classics and cliched.
At his work, delivering
The news that he's finally

Met her! Seen her!
Discovered her name!

And then realizes that it's another
Crushed,
Hopeless,
Devastated
Dream.

And he's still all alone.
