Bystander

By:Jordan Brown

Your hair so gold and so soft

your eyes like precious gems

and your smile bright like the sun

I notice all these but do not say anything

because I am only a bystander

don't want to hurt what we already have

but die inside for more

I see you flirt with other people

I see you getting hurt with you not even knowing it

and hear people say stuff about you

I notice all these things but I stand here quiet

because I am only a bystander

don't want to hurt what we already have

but die inside for more

We worked so hard to be like we are

we will be friends forever

and yet, I want to be so much more

I have all these feelings but I am silent

because I am only a bystander

don't want to hurt what we already have

but die inside for more

You are everything I want in a girl

you are so easy to talk to

and you make my day great

I know this but I don't tell you

because I am only a bystander

don't want to hurt what we already have

but die inside for more

I smile when I see you no matter what

I get butterflies in my stomach

and feel so faint

You do all these things to me but still I am hush

because I am only a bystander

don't want to hurt what we already have

but die inside for more

I would love to do all the small things with you

I would love to just hold your hand

and wrap you in my arms under the stars

I miss not doing these thing but my mouth is shut

because I am only a bystander

I don't want to hurt what we already have

but die inside for so much more

Yes you are everything I've ever wanted

Yes you are perfect in my eyes no matter what

and yes you are the girl always in my dreams

I keep these things inside and they eat me alive but still I am like a mime

because I am only a bystander

I don't want to hurt what we have

but die inside for more

Yes I am only a bystander a friend to you

a person to talk to and to always be there

someone with a shoulder to cry on

Yes I am only a bystander

never in the spotlight of your life

but always there to fall back on when the light fades out

But if I have the choose of a Bystander our nothing

I would choose a Bystander because at least then I am your friend

and a friend is exactly what I am

All you other bystanders out there keep doing what your doing

because your time is coming and it will be sweet when it does

to everyone, be happy if you have a bystander because they're the best friends you'll ever have
