The One I Love

To see the one I love, happy, means the world to me Even if that means I've got to set him free I love him But he loves someone else Someone prettier than me Someone smarter than me Someone more pure than me Someone richer than me Someone who can love him better than me I helped them find each other Watching them, I now know that he was never mine to keep I must let him go I will never know what it's like to feel his loving embrace He will never look at me the way he looks at her I will never know what it feels like to have someone love me I will never know what it feels like to have him love me He was never mine to keep I must let him go My heart shatters into pieces But to see the one I love, happy, means the world to me
