And I look at you
The way you look at her
And I sit here
And I think too deeply

I think about what
We could be
And what it would be like
To hold your hand

And I think about
How your arms
Hang loosely around her hips
When you're tired

And I picture myself
Holding you tight
After a long night
After everything hit the fan

I want to know what
It's like to feel
Your lips against my forehead
And on my neck

But what hurts the most
Is I was so close
And pushed her into you
So you wouldn't fall

So you wouldn't fall into me
Because that would be
Like breaking a dam
During a flood

So I will watch you love her
And I will watch your light
Shine through her
And think just for a little while longer.
