your side of the road.

by kelli bircket (Aries) - Not entered

i stood on the corner
waiting for the cars to pass
so that i could cross over to be with you.
but as soon as it started to clear
another car came
and another and another
until it was even more busy than before.
so i sat on the corner
but no one would give me a break.
i watched you through the cars whizzing by.
she moved into the house next to yours
and i watched you smile as you saw her.
then, from out of the blue,
she kissed you
and you liked it
and you two were together.
and there was nothing i could do about it.
all i can do now is sit on the corner
and watch her take what was suppose to be mine
and watch you fall in love with her
before you ever got a chance to
fall in love with me.
i see you wave at me every now and then
but all i can do is cry,
wishing that i had lived on
your side of the road
and she had
lived on
mine.
