HER

HER

I stare across the room,

You're talking with her.

Smiles wide, eyes sparkling,

I wish I was her.

Tears spill across my face

as you lean into her.

You stand a breath away,

then you twirl her.

She is everything that

I want to be.

Perfect and beautiful,

graceful and a lady.

I know I let you down.

I know I pushed you away.

I know this is all my fault,

so this pain I will have to bear.

But I messed up,

I got too afraid,

Cause everyone I

ever loved,

Burned me along

the way.

I hoped that I

could get you back,

But now that I see

you with her,

I'm not sure that

It is for the best.

So this is goodbye

my love,

I wish you the best.

But if you ever dream of me,

Call me up.

But I understand,

If all you want is her.
