Forgotten Me

I see you standing with her and I want to cry

Wishing it was me by your side

But she takes my place and I wonder why

What did I do that made you say goodbye?

I see you smiling at her and I see her laugh

I felt whole a moment ago, now I'm just half

You tear me to shreds when you look at her like that

She is your future and I'll only ever be your past

You tell her the same jokes you told me

You charm her the same way, why must you tease?

You met her the same day you said we could never be

Now you've left me here so lonely

Do you even know her for who she is?

Does it feel better with her than when we kissed?

Does she bring you the comfort you've longed for and missed

Or will you tell me she's better than this?

When you hold her hands and whisper in her ear

That she means so much to you, she's so dear

And that you love nothing more when she's near

Do you ever see my tears?

If she tells you tomorrow she cannot see you

She's so very busy, has so many things to do

Will you spend that day missing her too

Thanking the shooting star for your wish come true?

When at night you're both beneath the moon

She's in your arms, your hearts beat in tune

A sudden, sweet slow dance breaks between you soon

Do you remember the night I first danced with you?

The time soon comes for you both to sleep the hours away

Looking in each others eyes without a word to say

Then at last you whisper to her “I love you, baby”

And I know you've forgotten me
