looking at her

Kerry Co., Ireland

I can't help but thinking that this love was only a curse because I can see the way that you're looking at her, I can see as you stare across the room- the way you fantasize someday you could be her groom.

What you don't see is how this pain is just killing me because I don't see that love in your eyes when you're looking at me- you tell me your dreams as you hold me close - but I know.

So Please let me down gently before you walk away, don't soothe me with the words that I want you to say, and don't stay here longer 'cause you do need to go – yes, I know.

Who would have thought that we'd end up like this- you walk away as I stand here in loneliness, left with a broken heart only time can mend, as you walk into the arms of the woman who I thought was a friend - but I knew.

I was watching you as you were looking at her, the way you yearned for her touch, a fantasy that I couldn't cure. And I knew that this would someday be, it was a matter of time - I saw the love in your eyes. The same love I felt for you, the love that I couldn't resist; the same love that's left me hurting wishing it didn't exist. You told me your dreams as you held me close.... now you go.
