Staring Enviously

I was at the club last night,
   and there was this couple.

I stared at them
   I was so jealous of them.
   I envied them.
   I wanted what they had.
   I wanted that to be us, so badly.

They were in their own little world.
They forgot everyone around them
   and just sat,
   with one another
     looking, touching, holding
At the bar.
He held her so close
  He kissed her cheek and her neck.

I feel into their spell of passion
   immediately.
They were so in love
   Nothing could break that binding.

Then I was suddenly brought back 
   to reality, forced to
remember everyone around me
   as a guy came up from behind.

I wanted him to be you,
     So badly.
