Forever Lover

I saw you standing and talking with friends

Never knew if you noticed me or I was just so tense

But your smile keeps killing me in surprise

As if you’re flirting with me in sweet disguise.

I busied myself getting close to you

But it seems you sensed what I was up to

And so you readied your feet for a step or two

In case I move that could scare you.

We slipped the night with no goodbyes

Helloes and Hi’s were doomed to hide.

I felt how much a fool I was

Dreaming of girl who’s a perfect lass

The day we met the second time

I was telling myself of a lover’s rhyme

But then you’re holding another man’s arm

So tight that I easily broke my charm.

Oh how I wanted to change your mind

To hold your hand and make it mine

And take you to a place where I seldom drive

                                                                  Where you become my perfect bride.           

But to wait in uncertainty is never easy

Promised only by those who are nearly crazy

But not to wait for you is even crazier

For a man like me who’ll always be your lover.
