I looked at you expectantly

You looked back with a blatant smile

Not understanding the look in my eyes

You pulled me in, and hugged me tight

You picked me up

And swirled me 'round

Not understanding what I was going through

Not realizing the tears I withdrew

Placing me back on my feet

Putting your hand under my chin

Your eyes stared right in mine

But you mistook the sadness to be the smile

That hand was stretched,

And an answer he awaited

You said I looked beautiful

Under the moonlight, in that gown I was in, swathed

Would you be mine, forever?

He asked again

Choking back my tears, I smiled

Turning around, I looked at you one last time

You nodded your head

Telling me to say yes

What did you know

You were the one I wanted here instead

The best friend, the best man

You were all I'd ever wanted

Why couldn't you be the one standing there

Did you never realize how much I cared?
