Second Best
҉
I'm never going to be the first in his life. Never good enough for him, always second best.
Swirling, dancing around.
He already has someone to love.
Calloused hands holding onto yours as you twirl.
And I'm just his friend.
Laughter ringing in the small space, like bells.
I've always loved him, in the back.
Goofing around, a smile forms.
But always knew he was never mine to take.
Moving closer, the song comes to an end.
I wonder…
Two hands clasped, rocking back and forth.
Leaning on the shoulder, hands move to the neck.
If he ever could've…
Backing away, walking away.
Loved me back.
