Watching From the Shadows

I watch from the shadows now
Watching you in love with someone else
Watching how happy you are
Knowing that it’s what you needed
Knowing that’s why I walked away
I am happy for you now
I’m jealous that that is what you wanted
That I was unable to give you

I watch from the shadows now
I watch my best friend in love
There is no longer an ‘us’ to be said
Only in memory
I talk to you now and all that I hear is
Happiness
Happiness for the love that found you

I watch from the shadows now
As I remember moving from Best Friend
To Girlfriend, back to best friend
You belong to her now
But I have something that she will never have
That is you as my best friend
I know your secrets better than she ever will

I watch from the shadows now
As I wish the both of you all of the
Happiness in the world
And profess to you that I am truly
Happy for you

I watch from the shadows now
As I turn and walk away
Knowing that she will take care of you
For me
