Always for You
Watching your silhouette from across the way
seeing your smile, day after day.
My smile falters as I watch him approach
knowing you love him…knowing I don't.
Hearing your laughter
can't help but join in…how infectious it is to me,
the warmth of your grin.
Sitting beside you, hearing you speak
wondering what it'd feel like
to plant a kiss on your cheek.
I watch in the shadows
as the love you have for him grows…shaking
with sobs and unspoken woes.
Hearing the whispers
from my closest friends,
I realize how badly this feeling has set in.
I know I sound crazy,
I know that I stare…but how can I help it?
How can I help but to care?
Watching your silhouette from across the way
seeing your smile, day after day.
Only adds to my anguish,
adds to my fear…knowing that when you are with him
I all but disappear.
I try to stand out, try to make you see
that he can not love you…can not love you
like me.
My love is a river, you can't stop its flow.
My love is an ocean, for only
you to know…
But it saddens me greatly, for you do not see
the love that surrounds you,
the love that is me.
Deep in your heart, I think you might know
the love that I feel for you, the love that will grow
continuing on in the race I call love
for only I fit you
like a hand fits a glove.
Always for you has my love been.
Never will it stray from its true course…for you I will wait,
forevermore.
