'I Do Not Know Their Names' Poem by David Bennett

'I DO NOT KNOW THEIR NAMES'

I see them walking down the street always holding hands,
Obviously so in love, though their middle aged,
I knew the girl from long ago, I do not know her name,
She looks so happy so does he, always holding hands
Id like to stop them and say to them you look so much in love
But if I did Im frightened of a rebuff, .
She looks at him, and he looks back they are so much in love
I knew her from long ago, please dont get me wrong!
I had no feelings for her but did not know her name.
They walk along with loving looks I do not know their name.
