I guess this is it.
We've run a long way,
You and me.
I look behind and see all the
Memories
And the
Necessity
Of having you by my side overwhelms me and I'm
Lost,
Because you're happy.
You've found someone who can give what I
Can't,
Who can fill your heart up like I
Can't
Who can be the center of your attentions and your feelings and your loving like I
Can't.
I never will be.
But I've got to be happy because
You're happy.
I can't ruin this
For you.
So that's why I watch—
As you walk hand in hand,
Run side by side,
Love face to face—
And smile,
And laugh,
And joke at your expense.
It's all I can do to ignore the
Churn in my stomach and the
Ache in my heart and the
Empty space that seems to follow me,
Loom over me, no matter how hard I try to
Fill it.
