Someone Else
In the shadows of others you were there,
Never standing out among the crowd.
Patiently waiting, hoping to be noticed,
You were overlooked for someone else.
Saddened by the lack of recognition,
Never a cross word or a tear shed.
A smile always there for him to see,
You were overlooked for someone else.
To him lovers came and went.
Seeing the hurt as each one left.
Your offer of love going unanswered,
You were overlooked for someone else.
Your hopes and dreams of a life together,
Lay shattered upon an alter of love.
His chosen bride stands by his side,
You were overlooked for someone else.
