You had the guts I've always lacked,
I watched her as she turned her back
On everything you've kept inside
A love that you just couldn't hide
You prayed, you waited for a sign
I felt your hope like it was mine
But you were honest, brave and free
The difference between you and me
You laid it out there, on the line
Did not just sit around and pine
You took ahold of time and space
Till her words slapped you in the face
If only I could tell him too,
Be bold and honest, just like you
At least then I could have known
But then we'd both be on our own
