Wanting

I look at him, longingly,
Wishing that he were mine.
But He's in a relationship with someone else.
has been for a long time.

A friend I had, in the same situation
a couple of years ago.
Went and made the wrong decision
and then she wanted more.

She liked this lad, like I do his mate,
Who was going out with someone else.
No matter what she did or thought about,
The pain and longing were all she felt.

To tell him her feelings, or not to
was the decision she had to make.
She told him, and he wanted excitement.
There began their big mistake.

They told each other their feelings.
They started going out.
But they had to keep it quiet
to keep the girlfriends doubt

About her boyfriend non-existent.
Then this friend of mine,
decided she wanted him to herself.
Being 'the other woman' wasn't just fine.

She rang and told the girlfriend.
The girlfriend was distraught
and with her boyfriend she discussed,
she disputed and she fought.

The boyfriend and girlfriend loved each other.
That much was clear to me.
So they stayed together, and as for my friend
by no-one she's been seen

Since the couple got back together.
They hardly ever row.
They're living happily ever after.
But to the problem of now.

It's me who likes another girls lad.
I know the girl, our friendship shouldn't fail.
So I won't make the decision my friend did
and end the fairytale.

I'll watch him from a distance.
Knowing that I'll never touch, but look from afar.
Knowing I'll never have experiences.
Just dreams which I'll keep in my heart

I look at him, longingly,
wishing that he were mine.
But he's in a relationship with someone else,
and to me, it seems he will be 'til the end of time.
