Wishing on Stars

Your phone rang and out you went
I sat back with obvious discontent
Always the second, never the first
Yet I have this longing for you, this thirst

I love you for all that you are
No matter the distance, near or far
Yet to know that you aren’t mine
It is an ache I cannot truly define

I know my place and you know yours
It hits me hard as you walk out that door
Yet, I love you and I can’t let that die
I never want to lose you, I cannot lie

But I know I’ll get the call one day
Your girl will win and get her way
Yet, I will continue to love you
Trying to breathe and muddle through

Your heart belongs to both her and I
You can promise and give her the stars in the sky
While I get the quiet reflective moments alone
That make me quiver,shake and tear me to the bone

So I am not yours and you are not mine
Just a couple of young souls intertwined
My tears are for you and what isn’t ours
And I’ll just keep wishing upon these stars
