Inspiration: Think of You
I saw you in Diagon Alley. You didn't see me (and it hurt even though I was grateful).
If you looked at me, it would probably be with disdain (and I'm as afraid as I've always been that everything I feel for you is written on my face).
You were pushing a pram, your red-haired wife beside you (and I wanted to be there in her place).
She leaned her head against your arm, and you smiled (and I know that smile will never be mine).
From behind, I saw the crowds clear a path before you, all but bowing as they got out of your way (and I would throw myself under your feet if I had the right).
You didn't seem to notice. Your attention was on the family you made (and jealousy hobbles me like a stone in my shoe).
I hear you bought them a home by the sea (and it's somewhere I'll never go, somewhere I'll never belong).
You wouldn't care, but I'm still in Wiltshire with a wife of my own (and she doesn't know what I dream in our bed at night).
I have a good life (but I still think of you).
I thought I had it figured out in a brand new life
With a great big house
And green initials on the towels
I should be happy now
Well, you got yourself a family
And you planted roots down by the sea
I saw you once on the street
You didn't notice me
Think of You
A Fine Frenzy
