I finally hear those words -
The ones that I've been longing for -
And my lips repeat them gratefully
I hope you understand
They are only meant for you
When he holds me close against him
And I feel his warmth and tenderness
I can close my eyes and just pretend
The arms around me are your own
In the shelter meant only for me
Do you hear me when I address him
As you eavesdrop on our romance
Do you feel he represents you
Are you happy as a voyeur
At another table so to speak
So I finally bare my soul
To his concern and awkwardness
I imagine you full of wisdom
Your hand upon my cheek, and yet,
The absence begins to drown me
Eventually I wake beside him
In the cold light of dawning
And I wonder if you're watching
And sharing in this feeling
Of a new sense of loneliness
