Staying Busy

Staying busy, living my life,
Helps me deny he has a wife,
For a while I can pretend,
I'm his true love, more than a friend.

A day of passion convinces me,
But the day after, I'm not free,
I cannot get him off my mind,
And missing him has me in a bind.

I want to call him, but I fear,
That chasing him won't bring him near,
I want him to come after me,
But fear says it won't ever be.

I wish my ego would disappear,
And let my heart bring him here,
So I could be within his reach,
Sharing moonlight on the beach.

Sometimes I Forget

When we are alone in our online world,
I feel like I'm your favorite girl,
You respond to me as my man,
And I love you all I can.

Skype just makes it all more real,
And we don't hide the way we feel,
Your expressive eyes cannot lie,
And my smile's no longer shy.

We keep nothing from each other,
When we are online together,
You read me with just one look,
You are like an open book.

But there are times I get confused,
And my ego feels abused,
When I try to go too far,
And you remind me how things really are.

I forget you have a wife,
You tell me to get a life,
I almost beg, with you to be,
But you say it's just a fantasy.

But I have noticed recently,
Your chat shows some regret,
You tell me, sorry, I must go,
Sometimes we forget.

Second-guessing Is Depressing

It drives me crazy that you're so vague,
That for clarity, I must beg,
Just for once, say what you mean,
And with your feelings, please come clean.

Keeping me guessing,as you do,
Is depressing, makes me blue,
Second-guessing, I thought it true,
But now I see, you hope it isn't you.

You said nothing beats being busy and happy,
I guess at the wedding I was feeling sappy,
I sent you the photo of that day,
With me glowing, holding the bouquet.

Your reaction gave me hope,
Now I'll have to try to cope,
You said I'm young enough anything can happen,
And you said, it might come true,
But you meant with someone else, not you.

I'm about ready to fly away,
And let the chips fall where they may,
Stop the game, douse the flame,
Admit that this will never be,
For you chose not to be with me.
