You see him with her,
And you think,
"I should be in her place."

You see them together,
And you wonder
"What does his embrace feel like?"

You see him alone,
And you think,
"I want to be by his side."

You see her with him,
And you think,
"How often is she with him?"

And you wonder,
And you wish,
And you dream,
And you hope,
And you sigh...

You wonder if
He would ever see your smile,
As more than just
A teasing grin.

You wish that
He would come by your side,
And give you tiny smiles
That are more than friendly.

You dream that
He would be in your arms,
And feel things for you,
That you could only imagine.

And you hope that...
He would tell you that he...
And the two of you could be....
It would be a miracle, indeed.

You sigh as he passes,
A helpless and hopeless sound,
And he turns when he hears it,
And he waves.

No girl at his side,
Just him,
And just you.

And maybe,
It could be like that,
In more than just
A secret memory
Of us two.
