Gloves

Here I sit annoyed by the cold
    Hood over head 
    Fingers numbed by wind
      and it just isn't sinking in
        Moving on 
         Finding someone
           else to call the one
               I barely got over the first one before
                  and when I moved
                    on to someone new
                       their taken 
                      I hate how bad my instincts 
                           can be
                          But there is no mistaking
                            The attraction 
                                That exsists
                                 It's just your heart
                                   Is somewhere else
                                     Now who am I to come
                                         right on by and try 
                                            to make you mines?
                                             How jumbled up am I?
                                               I see countless of
                                                my friends
                                                  Sinking back into the same 
                                                    old pair of gloves with holes
                                                       that only leave them bitter and cold
                                                                  I'm not like them
                                                          All  I want is a new pair of gloves 
                                                                      The warm and snug
                                                                        The ones that hug  
                                                                     I have been searching for years
                                                                           Oh! I just spotted the right pair 
                                                                   Yet someone else is wearing them
                                                                          Aw man! I'm freezing...
