With a bittersweet smile he gazed at me
Looking like he had something he had to say to me
In my mind I wondered who his girl would be
This friend of mine who is the best there can be
Flesh and blood and loyal to a fault
If I were a man and he a lady, I would court him so.
-.-
I look at her, perfect as can be
I look at her and wonder what could be
I look at her and need to say
“Have you ever known that your plus one
Is the one?
Have you ever wanted to walk into a room
with her on your arm?
Have you ever wanted someone so much
It left a bruise on your heart?
Have you ever held the love of your whole life in your arms
Knowing you had to let go?
Hoping for a sign, a nod, an acknowledgement
With non forthcoming!
Have you ever had to sit back
While others threw their hats in the ring
While in your heart of hearts
You know that between you and she
It was meant to be
Have you ever wanted to be the sparkle in your person’s eye
See your face in your love’s child
Because I have, I do every day!”
-.-
With fleeting sadness and sorrow only I could see on his face
He proceeds to laugh of my heartfelt dismay!
“I am the rake of rakes, i would not know of such nonesense
My heart belongs to only you my love”
Was he serious ?
I don’t know
But why were his lips curved but his eyes so sad?
Looking like a man of acute illness of amore
Utterly perplexed I asked my friend
For there is no secrets between us
“Who is this lady holder of your heart?”
I would go and plead his case
Or petition for his heart release
Surely she must be ignorant not knowing she denies him his bliss
Even before my phantom there was always him
No red blooded woman could help but love him it seems.
