The Other Guy

She wonders why the days wont end
and where have the nights disappeared again.
She thinks about his pretty smile,
his absence that has left her fragile.

He looks out his window, disappointed again,
she wont come back and walk in the rain.
He looks at her picture and wonders why,
they didn't talk about this other guy.

She stares at the letters her inbox full,
the words mesmerizing, his love's pull.
And then she thinks about how it all went down,
wrestling with herself she leaves the town.

He waits for her reply for something to give,
maybe without her he would now have to live.
Of life in the coming days he didn't know,
maybe time in its grace would itself show.

The baby now left desolate somewhere unknown,
cries for someone to show him a home.
Where their one mistake will cost him his life,
could he still make it through this alive.

He wonders whether this some other way could be dealt,
the little guy and she happy he could have kept.
But society and they wouldn't have accepted,
in a way their fate long decided.

She sits alone in a car now crying,
what is the point of these emotions now hiding.
She rides back to the steps where the other guy lay,
reaching for him a prayer of forgiveness she prays.

He watches the sun sink deep into the sea,
wonders whether their love still can be.
He hurries past the crowds the people accusing,
society and their opinions in the closet left hanging.

James and Delilah hold lil Paul in their arms,
their anguish and fear now become calm.
For the first time lil Paul opens his brown eyes,
to see the world in true love shine.
