I Said A Prayer

by Mary Thluai
(Yangon, Myanmar)

Dear God,

You fill my heart with love for him
But you fill his heart with love for her

I close my eyes to stop thinking of him,
And yet, I see his sweet smile

Dear God,

Please do not let him endure the pain of broken heart,
Because I am afraid of losing the chance to see his happiness.

For me, it's him, just him, and him alone.
