[bodytext] => If You Only Knew May 21, 2005 Sitting on a sleek black bench, You're telling me everything. My friend, in confidence you say, "She's so great...makes me so happy... I don't know what it is... It's like, like I'm in love" The world goes on around us, People and voices going by, But all I hear is your voice, And my own heartbeat. How could I have been so blind? All this time... There goes my hope for what could be. You're looking off into nothingness, A faint smile on your lips, Thinking of her. "Wow", you say, and it's so real to me, My heart is splitting, slow and silently. I saw you bring her flowers, sit with her, And smile the way I hoped you would for me. "Have you ever felt like that?" you ask, And the irony is killing me. "Do you mean have I ever wanted to be, Around someone constantly?" You nod, I smile, and in silence we sit. Both thinking about your happiness. Is this what real caring is? If she's the one, and not me, Is there anything that I can change? Not really. I feel my own selfish wants leaving, My heart filling with compassion that maybe I don't understand, but still feel. I want you to be happy. "I've never met anyone like her." If I can't be the one to make you feel that way... "Everything she does makes me want to say" I still think you deserve the feeling... "I love you." So I'll suffer, to see you bloom... "I knew you'd understand." If you only knew...
