ON OUR OWN

ON OUR OWN

It's so good to know he loves me
To see him now & then
Like a sun-drenched rainbow;
And it's nice when he surprises me
With a gesture or a gift
Before he has to go.

But I must make it on my own
For we both really know
He belongs to someone else;
Even though we care so deeply
And when he's in the room
My heart completely melts.

I can't give my whole self to him
Or promise him a part of me
For our future life;
Nor can I share my body & soul
With someone who already has
A true & loving wife.

The nights are long without him
The days all seem the same
No plans can we make;
Every time I see them together
Even in my mind
I feel my heart begin to break.

So I must make it by myself
And search hard for another
Who'll also be alone;
Maybe then I'll stop dreaming
Of men who have wives
But can't make it on their own.
