You Are Not Mine

You are not mine, but sometimes I pretend that you wish you were.
I create this idea that you secretly want me and I often forget it's just something I've made up.
You do not want me and you do not want me and you are not mine.

Now I step back into the shadows. Being that sideline person in your life that really does not matter in the grand scheme of things.

I wanted to be your friend but somewhere I went wrong.
I crossed some invisible line that had you backing away from me.
Maybe all those fantasies I had in my head of you and I showed a little too much in my eyes when we were together.
Maybe you felt the bond growing closer and it was not for you.

Now I cannot go to those dream places for my heart cannot stand the pain.

I will just wander in the shadows.
