I am the Other Woman

I am the Other Woman Savannah Baer In the quiet moments, I catch his gaze Not on me but on another face I see his smile, a longing look In this moment my whole world shook He looks at her eyes that shine A longing there that once was mine But when he turns to meet my stare It is a friend’s warmth not a lover’s care I feel like the other woman now A place I never knew somehow In his heart I thought I would stay But I am just his friend at the end of the day I wonder when his shift began When I lost the old romantic man How did I not see the love fade away Or did I just hope it would always stay I wear the ring, I share his name But in my eyes it’s not the same Unfulfilled I stand by his side Not only a friend, but a faithful bride But in my heart I crave to be A woman he wanted to love fiercely
