We Never Said We Were Together

Who, with tears in their eyes, casually

wrote these three words in the sand?

Who, with a tender hope,

spelled out a colorful message with seashells?

In the end, it must have been a young woman

who laid down a bunch of daisies, tied with a red handkerchief.

And so, everyone who passed by here

was touched by an unnamed longing.
