I will laugh at his jokes

But it's cold and hollow

My laugh holds no warmth.

He doesn't notice.

I take his hand

Revel in the touch

Pretend it's sincere.

But it's only to help me up

After he's pushed me down

Again.

He'll ask me for dating advice

And I will give him the best I can think of

In hopes that maybe this time he

Will use it on me.

And when he doesn't

I will smile,

And wish him good luck.

And when he introduces the lucky girl

I will smile,

And wish them all the happiness in the world.

And when I'm all alone

Staring up at the stars

This time, maybe I won't wish I was her

But maybe, just maybe

This time I will wish

That Craig smiles

Just for me

Tomorrow.
