I finally hear those words -
The ones that I've been longing for -
And my lips repeat them gratefully
I hope you understand
They are only meant for you

When he holds me close against him
And I feel his warmth and tenderness
I can close my eyes and just pretend
In the shelter meant only for me
The arms around me are your own

Do you hear me when I address him
As you eavesdrop on our romance
Do you feel he represents you
Are you happy as a voyeur
At another table so to speak

As I finally bare my soul
To his concern and awkwardness
I imagine you full of wisdom
Your hand upon my cheek, and yet,
The absence begins to drown me

Eventually I wake beside him
In the cold light of dawning
And I wonder if you're watching
And sharing in this feeling
Of a new sense of loneliness

I wonder will you stay with me
Now that the story's closing
Or will you be moving on now -
Another girl, a different game
A moment's fancy,
the last box checked

Did I mean anything at all
