On the bench

My heart is flooded with emotion
You turn and smile
it warms my heart
as it did in the past
Why do I plan lifetimes
that include you?
She brings you a calm
and a peace
I wasn't able to provide.
Shes so nice you say
giving you comfort,
friendship,
love and
companionship
you used to come
to me for.
All your new insight
is with her.
I was..
your practice, warm up
to the real game
Now realizing
I won't be your first string,
for in this game of life
the coach plays his
best players.
