I watch them now, so unaware -
or maybe they just don't are.
He came home with me
yet there he is with her.
Family surrounds them, smiling and with tears of joy
As they professed there love
exchanging vows and golden rings.
No one seems to remember
That this should have been me,
My own golden circle forgotten
Now I raise my glass
and toast the happy couple
playing the part set for me
as I silently scream, yet my voice is smooth
"Love - one simple word
Simple action - we day it everyday
Yet we never do understand
To truly love love something - you must set it free"

Hopefully this is no true story. That would be quite painful. Many words I could write for that sort of situation. Great write.
