The Other Side

by David Peck - Libra

It's not fair, it's selfish
For one to ask the other
To give up what they have
To risk it all on you.

What makes you so special
That she should remove herself
From her familiar environment
Just to be with you?

Can you offer something better?
Do you care for her more?
See it from the other side
Or you cheat her of happiness.

Reason for writing:

    We've all had our eye on the "taken" other, and wanted them to break it with their current, and go out with you.  This is a poem about seeing it from the other person's view...  Is it fair to them?  Are your feelings more important?
