Phantom Lover
When we are together it’s simply pure bliss
We hug. We laugh. We make love and we kiss
Our special moments together – what love’s all about
That we will be together some day there is no doubt.
But right now we are not to be
Her kids are the problem you see
To them I am nothing and don’t exist
Letting me into their lives she can only resist.
If they learn of me now it might be tough
To understand why? It could get rough
Mom is not allowed to be in love right now
She doesn’t deserve to be happy, no matter how.
She says I am special, but all I know
Is that my love I am not allowed to show.
With her kids we pretend to be just friends
No idea how this bad joke ever ends.
My heart aches to be with her
To show my love I’d much prefer
My struggles are many, but I’ll I know
Is without her I’d be at an all-time low.
She is the only reason I am where I am today
My life was a train wreck in every way
I’ve been struggling to get back on my feet
No matter how hard I tried I was always beat.
Many days I thought it was all too much to take
Dark thoughts filled my head. Bad decisions I’d make.
How she came into my life, it had to be fate
All I do know is I’m glad it was not too late.
She stirred feelings in me I had all but forgot
To be so much in love was what I had sought
But I’d given up searching for that special one
Who my heart and soul she would have won.
From the moment we met it was love at first sight
To have her in my life forever would be my plight
I yearn to spend every moment together with her
But for now I can only be her Phantom lover.
