I cannot take you to parties

Or take you to meet my family

I can’t talk about you to anyone

or tell them I’m proud you are mine.

I can’t wake up with you each morning

Or lie down in your arms as you go to sleep

I’m alone in my bed because you’re not mine.

I love to hold your hand but when out

We have to keep distance as friends do

The smile I give you is friendly

In my head replays the passion we have.

Everyone knows that I’m single because in theory I am

I can’t belong to you and you’re not

Allowed to be mine.

We keep each other a secret

And the thoughts we have are just ours

I have no right to your time or emotions

I have no rights at all

You will always belong to another

And I know you will never really be mine.
