The time exercising when I said to you
All about my heart's attentions
Someone held my hand the whole set through
On the side in your direction
Time passed quickly as I waited to know
Both answers anticipated
A warm reply yet still it was a no
A feeling not reciprocated
I didn't know you were seeing someone then
But what does all this matter now
You've found the perfect one with whom your life to spend
We have different beliefs anyhow
The same thing happened again with someone new
A friend I swiped in online dating
Someone held my hand the whole night through
As I lay asleep awaiting
So excited to see you swiped me too
But your love will not be mine
I guess that's just a thing that friends do
Is swipe each other online
Someone told me that I cannot read signs
Then arrived at the wrong conclusion
If one can never read between the lines
Is one consigned to perpetual delusion
Yet someone held my hand the whole set through on the side in your direction
And someone held my hand the whole night through on the side in your direction
