He was happy just seeing her with a smile on her face Happily dancing through the night He, too, was smiling, but deep inside He knew he wasn't alright. He wanted to hold her and take her away But there was nothing much he could do He was fed up of thinking of any other way How he wished this wasn't true. It was painful for him to see her go The pain's more than it might seem But he knew where to stand, he knew his place She didn't belong to him.
