Second Choice

Here we are, once again
As I watch your lips take another
As I watch the smile only I could bring
So I thought.

You said that there'd never be another
But we both know the truth
That those words weren't meant for me
That you were speaking to yourself.

It's time I accept what is to be
That it'll never be enough
Teasing me with the thought of forever
When you knew it wouldn't last.

You came to me with tears in your eyes
I soothed the pain, "There's that smile again"
You hugged me so and I felt loved...
And then you went back.

Finally, you got your courage
To tell me what I already knew
I was but to fill a void that can't be filled
That you felt something... but it wasn't

I smiled and held your hand
And told you it was okay
You deserve to be truly happy
While I shattered.

You left to be with who you gave your heart
While you still had mine
But sadly whenever you fall back from pain
The truth is I'll aways be there

Signed,
The Second Choice
