Second Place

I always come in second.
I’ll never be in first.
I try to be the best,
But I’m just a little worse.

I’ve always been the runner up.
I’ve never been the best.
I always try so very hard,
My mind will never rest.

But when I’m in your arms,
I know I’m your number one.
Because you tell me that you love me,
And this isn’t just for fun.
