I can see you, walking towards me,
With a smile on your face and a song on your lips
Your hair shines like sunlight, but sweeter
As you gaze deep into my eyes and reach out.

But wait. You turn. It’s not for me you long
Though I waited for you. So long I sat
Through the trials of eternity
Waiting for what? Your love?

Bitterness wells in my throat
As you turn away towards him
Who is he? Do I know him?
Will I ever?

What does he have that I don’t?
Do you see him in me? No.
A lifetime of happiness or one of trial
Which will you choose? The easier.

He takes your arm, holds you close.
It’s such a natural thing to do, yet it burns
I can only stand betrayed, and watch
And though I scream, no sound is heard.

I cannot even begin to describe
How it feels, to watch you, close in his arms
You were always mine really, don’t ever forget it
And at night, the dream will live.
