Goodnight my prince, the love of my life,
I wish that someday I could be your wife
To walk down the isle and see your face,
I would be in a beautiful white dress with lace
You smile at me and I smile back,
Love and admiration are things we wouldn't lack.
God I love you with every inch of my heart
Being away from you is tearing me apart
Can't we start over? Can't we start again?
I don't want to be out of your life forever, I'm okay with being friends.
But know ill always love you, lets make that clear,
You're all that's in my heart and soul forever my dear.

And some day when I sit,
content in my rocking chair
Watching life soar by,
I'll look to my side and see
my world taking it's time
Reading a book
enjoying a cool summers Breeze
and my world will look up
from that book
"What is wrong?"
but I'll have no reply

For While I watch life soar by
I'll hear a whisper in my ear.
We've had a great run,

Enjoy the birds and the bees.
Leave the rest up to me,
You're in the best of company.
I'll just nod and agree.

To my world,  I will say
"Nothing.  It's just beautiful today
Watching the birds fly away
And the bees noisily play.
I'm in great company,
Just listening to cars zooming by
Watching my life like a movie
It's happy ending so sweet.

I see a girl and a boy, well evolved in years.
They look so happy on that cool summer's Eve.
Her reading a book,
Him rocking peacefully."

I am a coward but she'll never know
Because I’ll hide my secrets, I won't bestow
Upon her those feelings I know she'll hate.
I'll keep those feelings in limbo with fate

Like the ones when I’m scared to look in her eyes
for fear of my trespassing where devils daren't tread.
Or the ones where she stares back and sees all the lies
of things I’ve never done and words I’ve never said

Or the ones where I tell her "The World isn't real
How can it be if I cannot feel?
The World isn't numb; you're all just pretend,
Detached from a conscience that I cannot spend."

It confused me then, it confuses me more
When pretend commitment walks through my front door
Through all these years I’ve seemed to withdraw;
But If you make life real then I can't ignore
In your company I can progress.

Now days seem so cold when she's not around
So glad am I! In her I have found
The rest of my life to spend in her glow.
She will Love me because she'll never know.

But who am I kidding? I have no right.
Secrets were made to hasten our plight.
One day, inevitably, she will know all
And down will come Love, Commitment and all.

Stuck, the same situation always the same,
life, in the form of a game,
my love is strong but it's considered wrong,
it doesn't matter how I feel,
because once again,

I'm just the third wheel,

I know how it ends,
we'll just be friends,
you get the girl,
while I twirl,
around in circles my head spins,
                I can never win,

love isn't a game to me,
it's more than that,
I'll put up a fight but I won't go against what I feel is
                                                              ­                                                right,
I stand my ground and never frown,
but deep inside I'm screaming out a never ending shout,

DON'T LIKE HER, LIKE ME!
We'll be as happy as can be,

no one hears my hidden fears,
I'll end up alone,
when you called why did I pick up the phone,
I would have been fine,
I could walk a straight line,
you stole my heart give it back,
        it's mine,
I go on living,
pieces of my heart I'm giving,
no one in the world cares,
they take, take, take,
why does the little girl stare,

she sees right through my to the emptiness inside,
I'm afraid to love that's why I hide,
everyone's the same in this game,
if I can't trust you what will I do,
stand still,
don't turn around,
catch me before I hit the ground,
in your arms you sweep me up,
we kiss,
I miss,
it's just a dream,
I wake up and scream,
there you are, right in front of me,
when you walk my way and smile I feel free,
but wait......

I see her, she's here too,
she holds your hand,
this is what I can't stand,
don't say you love me if you don't,
you think I'll hate you but I won't,
just remember,
we'll be friends,
until the end,
that's all I ever am.
