I am the one who stood beside you and smiled as we embarked upon our love. I am the one who stood beside you, comforting you as you wept for it all, smiling to see the passion and emotion in your eyes. I am the one who stood beside you as we ran away in our dreamland, smiling in contentment. I am the one who stood beside you, weeping, as we grew apart in our minds. I am the one who lay beside you in bed, that last time, and though we both knew it for an ending, still I smiled because I was glad that it had happened at all. I am the one who was jealous of him, though I smiled ironically at myself, for you had always been so jealous of my female friends. I am the one who stood by when the two of you got together, and I was happy, because I wanted you to be happy.
I am the one who stood beside you and smiled. |
