I couldn't call dibs on your heart
Since I didn't love you at the start
I fought the ropes that pulled
Within me; to feel more than I  
Ever have; a hunger grew
Within me; for any minute
Any second around you,
This thirst was different
Than I ever knew,
Never wanted someone
Because I didn't want
To ever have to let go
Always cutting ties
Before they'd anchor
Me down to earth,
For your smile; your mirth
I'd mercilessly ****,
But you had the last word to say
Who you belonged to,
I never prayed this hard,
To quell the ugliness of jealousy,
But it's there like weeds
I have to pull up everyday
Yet from this I can't get away;
You're someone else's
And I must understand
I'll never be with you
Unless it was a dream;
And even then I cannot  
For as you know I never do;
Hope he knows what he's got,
He may one day not have any
Material possessions;
But he's got the greatest
Single valuable on earth;
Your love...
