Jolene,
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Please don't take him just because you can
I know it's not my place, I realise that your love is not to be messed with, but is a little empathy too much to ask? I've loved him with all my heart, with all my soul, ever since he had come walking into my life at the young age of ten. He is everything I've ever wanted, everything I've ever needed. The same could be said about me to him. At least until you came prancing along, with not a care in the world, completely free.
You turned him into something else, someone else, without him knowing.
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.
At first, I wasn't worried about you. You were just a weak little mundane, with no care in the world.
But soon, I realised that it was inevitable, with your cascading hair and your porcelain skin. Your luminous emerald eyes instantly out-shone my dull, depthless pools of blue.
I can see how your one smile brightens up his day, or your one word lifts up his moodes, and I know I can't compete with you.
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name.
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me.
I witnessed him grow. Into a better person, into a good person. It took no time for you to capture his heart and have him wound around your finger.
He was a spluttering mess before he met you. A fish out of water.
But, even with his happiness in mind, I couldn't deny that I still want him, still love him, still need him. What can I say, I'm selfish.
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do.
I let my feelings get the best of me. But I can see it now, why he loves you. I tried seeing the world through his eyes. I still cry myself to sleep at night. But now it's dawned on me. I better move on. Because he's not going to.
You brought out the good in him. You released the angel in him. You woke him.
