I Envy You

I watch your hand upon her hips
And as you place a smile on her lips
You kindly seal it with a kiss,
 Holding the girl I dearly miss.

You are fair of face and statuesque as art,
I am but meek of will and dark of heart.
You Forgive and Forget
I forget to forgive,
With eyes closed, her sins, I clearly relive.

As long as the stars are bright,
As long as the seas are blue.
As long as she loves you right,
I’ll Envy You…
