I heard this song on the radio and one thing came to mind. Dr Camille Saroyan. I figure this is a pretty good interpretation of how she must feel about Brennan.
From the safety of her office, Cam watches Booth and Brennan arrive back at the lab after nailing the murderer of a young woman. They walk side by side, their arms almost brushing. Cam sees how at ease they are with each other and how easily Brennan brings a smile to Booth's face. She tries hard but she can't do it as easily herself. There's always a little bit of tension between them.

I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can

Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene
Cam has never had any issues with how she looks and she doesn't lack attention from men. But for some reason Booth just doesn't look at her the same way he looks at Brennan. There isn't the same adoration, longing and happiness in his eyes. Cam sees how Booth's eyes settle on Brennan's face when she isn't looking, how he looks like he wants to reach out and touch her when they're close. If anything, Booth avoids contact with Cam, except in the bedroom.
He talks about you in his sleep
And there's nothing I can do
To keep from crying when he calls you name Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene
The first time she heard him say Brennan's name she felt like her world was collapsing in on her. He was sound asleep and it didn't come out sounding like he desired Brennan, but the fact that Brennan was the one in his dreams and not her, hurt like hell. When it happened again she just lay back down in bed and tried to be thankful that he was still with her and for the moment, she was the one he went home with.

You can have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do Jolene
Cam steps out of her office and follows Brennan and Booth as they walk to her office. She hangs back, out of sight, and watches them. Her heart wrenches when Booth pulls Brennan into an embrace. It lasts longer than a hug should between friends and Cam knows that sooner or later Brennan will have to decide. If she wants Booth, he's not going to turn her down. Brennan just needs to make up her mind. Sometimes Cam wishes Brennan would just get it over with so she knows where she stands, even if that means losing Booth. Other times she wants Brennan to remain undecided, because as long as that happens, Cam will be the one with Booth.
