Background
I watch the laughter, the caring between you.
I'm forgotten as you tell her the things I wish to know
I watch as you grow closer, farther from me.
I'm forgotten as you rant, and lower your walls for her.
You say a wrong word, she says a wrong word
The silence reigns between you, and then you remember
In the background I stand, waiting for the silences
For in the silences is when you see me once again.
We talk of inconsequential things, mostly of her
I listen not showing the pain I feel at being forgotten
I give you the advice you seek hoping it will help
Knowing that when it does, the silence will break.
Then you speak, the silence gone
And I drift into the background once more.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by and reading my post. I'm glad you've decided to leave a comment, I like getting them, they make me feel like I'm not writing to myself! I reply to all my comments, even though it may take me a little bit, I DO reply.
Have a great, fantastic day/evening/night/morning!
