Would It Make a Difference?

Would it make a difference?

He wondered

If she didn’t love him

Didn’t care for him

As much as he wanted her

It seemed as if

She was constantly miles away

When he was whispering

Sweet nothings in her ear

Oh, their kisses were passionate enough

And her smiles the sweetest they could be

But there was something

Which he couldn’t understand

Her lips said I love you

But her eyes were empty

Deep in the night

He watched her sleep

And wondered who she was dreaming about

He knew that he would be lost without her

But to live being afraid

Of what tomorrow would bring

Froze his heart and made him scared

Came the day when he saw

Her laughing, her blue eyes twinkling

As they looked up at the man

Who wasn’t him

At first it didn’t seem to hurt

He’d known for awhile

That things in their world

Weren’t as they should be

So he crossed on over

And stood in front of the two lovers

Holding out his hand

For the woman who should be his

But she just shook her head

Grabbed onto the hand of the man beside her

And he stood and watched until they were out of sight

Funny in moments like this

For him there was no hate

No regret or anger

Just a feeling of betrayal

And somewhere deep inside

He wondered if it had been his fault
