With down cast eyes,you try to speak
Your heart is breaking,your voice is weak
You have something to say,You have to be heard
You stammer and stutter,trying to find the words
You start to tell me,whats on your mind
You start with "I sorry","I dont mean to be unkind"
"You see I love another,and I also love you"
I say
"How can this be,how can you love two
"I dont know how it happened,dont know how its done"
I say
"Am I number two or am I number one?
"Your number two,in my life and my heart"
"You always have been,right from the start"
My body went numb,my heart hit the floor
I had a empty feeling,like never before
T he past,present and future,was lost in my eyes
All I could see were the tears that I cried
In just one minute,I saw it all end
From being in love,to just being friends
And friends you lose ,day to day
You drift apart,and go different ways
Some day you'll find,you acted in haste
You will long for my touch,and your body will ache
But I may not be there,waiting for you
And you will have to find you,another number two.
So sad, but very nicely done, Buren.
It flows well, a good read.

This is really really sad. It made me cry. You can put your pain in words, and make everyone else feel it. That is a true and rare gift!
