How Dare I

How dare I caress your face that does not belong to me
How dare I kiss your lips like if they were made just for me 
How dare I hold your hand, the one that explores all of me 
How dare I hold your heart that doesn't belong to me 

I'm an intruder, the other one 
I'm not proud of it and I know I'm in control 
But I can't help knowing that I can still feel that little love that you give to her 
I've put my guard down, my self worth to the side 
Once again I gave you all of me knowing it's just for a while
You'll leave after, like you always do, as soon as your phone starts to ring and I know it's her

A difficult situation to put yourself in. One without a happy ending.
