This is for the Other Woman… Now that you have taken his heart… And now that you occupy his every thought and mind… Now that he has a new future to look to… And has new dreams and exciting things with you… Now that you have his ear as well as his soul… And he would listen only to your uttered words… Now that you are there with him looking ahead… And you have caused me to be a past… Now that you are the source of his light… And you have the chance to steer him to the path of right… Now that you he is in love with you… And I have become one of the people he will always care about… I have a few things to say…. Maybe certain truths you already know… He does not drink coffee and prefers to sip pop… He does not like seafood but delights in pasta… He likes golf over tennis and loves basketball… He plays pretty good bowling but does not gloat… He is happiest when he is home on a quiet night… He would rather take walks with you than be at parties… He is respectful of your space and shall not push… He listens patiently and speaks softly… He is brave as he is fearful… He is strong as he is weak… As I set him free and let him go… And seek a new world in your arms… Promise me you will watch over him and guide him… Hold him close and never be far from him… Tell me you will be there always, through the good and bad… Be there when he wakes at night from a bad dream… Stay, till the storm is over and till the morn… Walk as he paces, run by his side as he rushes… Be within sight as he searches the crowd for you… Be within earshot as he calls out your name… Be strong when he is at his most desolate… Be silent when he needs to be heard… Now that you are present in his life… And I am but a witness from the very distance… Love him and never let him go…Birth sign: Aquarius
