I was there, and so was he
I guess I was tired of my feelings
I needed someone to see

I called; I texted; I got no reply.
I needed something to replace the desperation. Don't ask me why...

He was there, when you would not be.
or perhaps could not...
That part was unclear to me.

I accepted his embrace,
but longed for yours instead.
He couldn't take your place.
He only shared my bed.

But you, whether or not you're aware,
You possess my heart, my passion.
To be honest, it's rather unfair.

No promise made and I pull away from him.
I couldn't return his kiss; only you swirled through my brain.
I don't know why I didn't stop him.
Only this is clear:
I was in his arms, wishing it was you
that I held near.
