Phantom Lover<\/p>\n
When we are together it\u2019s simply pure bliss<\/p>\n
We hug. We laugh. We make love and we kiss<\/p>\n
Our special moments together – what love\u2019s all about<\/p>\n
That we will be together some day there is no doubt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But right now we are not to be<\/p>\n
Her kids are the problem you see<\/p>\n
To them I am nothing and don\u2019t exist<\/p>\n
Letting me into their lives she can only resist.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If they learn of me now it might be tough<\/p>\n
To understand why? It could get rough<\/p>\n
Mom is not allowed to be in love right now<\/p>\n
She doesn\u2019t deserve to be happy, no matter how.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She says I am special, but all I know<\/p>\n
Is that my love I am not allowed to show.<\/p>\n
With her kids we pretend to be just friends<\/p>\n
No idea how this bad joke ever ends.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My heart aches to be with her<\/p>\n
To show my love I\u2019d much prefer<\/p>\n
My struggles are many, but I\u2019ll I know<\/p>\n
Is without her I\u2019d be at an all-time low.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She is the only reason I am where I am today<\/p>\n
My life was a train wreck in every way<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been struggling to get back on my feet<\/p>\n
No matter how hard I tried I was always beat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Many days I thought it was all too much to take<\/p>\n
Dark thoughts filled my head. Bad decisions I\u2019d make.<\/p>\n
How she came into my life, it had to be fate<\/p>\n
All I do know is I\u2019m glad it was not too late.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She stirred feelings in me I had all but forgot<\/p>\n
To be so much in love was what I had sought<\/p>\n
But I\u2019d given up searching for that special one<\/p>\n
Who my heart and soul she would have won.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the moment we met it was love at first sight<\/p>\n
To have her in my life forever would be my plight<\/p>\n
I yearn to spend every moment together with her<\/p>\n
But for now I can only be her Phantom lover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
