Sitting Behind Two Starcrossed Lovers

Watching I look and see
as they grow older
still strike the same pose when I sit behind them
a little life, a little hope, starts to grow in me and form a stem
then I can get back to being one of those starcrossed lovers

Their hands tightly embracing one another
figure folded and each other
like two adoring lovers
they absolutely can't get enough of one another

As I sit back looking blindly through
I'm thinking, why couldn't this be me and you .
as I turn to you sitting beside me
thoughts go through my head but they feel like led
what was stopping me from bringing me to you.
Why couldn't I take that leap of faith
why was our last words " we can be friends in this case"
we were starcrossed lovers but no more

am I supposed to sit here besides you.
And act like I have not been myself to you
I have not gave you my all.
I will hold you above everything else in this world .
You mean more to me than my worldly possessions
you are not from the world you are an angel sent from heaven

But as I sit here behind the two starcrossed lovers
I hear one of them proclaim to the other I want to be with you forever
I want to take on any hardship that you burden
I want to be that soldier that you lean on
I want to be that rock that never falters

as I sit here behind the two starcrossed lovers
I ask myself would we have been that for each other.
