Unnoticed

You stood, the center of attention
All eyes fixed upon you
I stood unnoticed in the back
My admiration exceeding all others

You were with her, so happy
They thought you were the perfect couple
I was unnoticed, off to the side
Wishing that I was her

You fell behind, beaten and broken
Ignored, disregarded, seemingly alone
I was unnoticed, but catching you as you fell
Crying, now knowing I'd never be seen

All this time you've lived your life
Full of both good and bad times
All this time I've been unnoticed here
Loving you more every day
