There is a light in your eyes
That cannot be hidden
A gleam of warmth and love
You smile so widely
When you’re with him
What was I thinking?
I can already picture
The childish delight with which
You explore the world
The irresistible charm
Which you must surely have
You seem pretty and sweet
And I bet you’re kind, too
So no matter what happens
Now or in the future
I’ll make a promise to you
If he ever breaks your heart,
The reason won’t be me
He may glance at me for too long
His hands may linger on my chair
But I’ll keep telling myself
That it’s platonic and it’s fair
I can see you bloom together
In love and in youth
Like an eternal spring
I could never ruin that,
But, to tell the truth,
I’m scared of myself
Terrified that my desperation
Will ruin what you have
And make me a villain
Oh god, what am I thinking? |
