When you’re with me You think of her Wondering why You could not have her You sit and wait On the edge of the bed Whispering softly You love me instead Cushions squished In silent agony Holding the weight Of what we pretend to be I wait And hope To hear from you While you hope the same But not from me Your eyes drift far Though you’re close by Searching for someone I cannot outshine One day you may see What we were meant to be But for now you sit and wait For her And not me

Beside You, Not With You
When you’re with me You think of her Wondering why You could not have her You sit and wait On the edge of the bed Whispering softly You love me instead Cushions squished In silent agony Holding the weight Of what we pretend to be I wait And hope To hear from you While you hope the same But not from me Your eyes drift far Though you’re close by Searching for someone I cannot outshine One day you may see What we were meant to be But for now you sit and wait For her And not me
