Always watching, waiting, hoping
You're sitting there,
crying your heart out
as I stand there and watch you for a moment,
soaking in your sad tears and the raw emotions
radiating off your body
You don't know that I am there,
but I am,
Always watching, waiting, and hoping
After a few minutes of watching your harsh exterior slowly fade away,
I come out from behind the wall,
you look up and run into my arms,
your fountains leaking water faster and thicker,
I hold you in my arms,
soothe you, settling you,
You don't know that I am there,
but I am,
Always watching, waiting and hoping
As you cry into my shirt,
I am brought back to that horrid day,
five years ago
When you broke my heart
as I let you in
"I'm not ready, I'm 18,"
you said.
"I don't want what you want."
That day, you left with a part of me
I nodded as you spoke the words I dread
"This isn't going to work out for me."
We parted that day, best friends
You don't know that I am there,
but I am,
Always watching, waiting and hoping
I whisper little whispers into your ear,
holding back what I most want to say
Once you regain your composure,
we walk over to the table
and I listened with care as you speak of another man,
I've heard all this before,
You thought he was "The One",
but he breaks you,
leaving you vulnerable
and me to pick up the pieces
You don't know that I am there,
but I am
Always watching, waiting, and hoping
Now people may think that I should be
"Your one",
but we know otherwise,
for we've tried for 5 years and failed
I was sad at first,
and still am,
but as long as you are happy and well
I will always be there,
you don't know it,
but I am
Always watching, waiting, and hoping,
for the day your tears cease and you are happy.
