I watch you quietly

I see you laughing

I see you smile

A smile once reserved for me

But that was long ago

And we have grown apart

When it happened I don't know

But we both knew it would happen

I see you hug her

I see you hold her

I know you love her

Love is forbidden to me

I see your daughter

I see you hold her

She's five years old now

The same age you were

When we met

When you smiled

When I changed

It seems like yesterday

But now you've grown

You have a life

A family

There is no room for me

So once again I'm alone
