You in My Eyes

"to my mind love's forever
but if you some day ever
decide you don't want me in your heart

don't be concerned for my fate
just make your move and I'll wait
as through my tears I see you depart

for in my eyes you are not a mere possession
something I own, someone to use
you are a friend, one special person
although I love you, you're free to choose"

============

what were those words that I said
that now repeat in my head
put to the proof that terrible day ?

if I'd made remonstrations
and argued protestations
would it have worked to stand in your way ?

for in my eyes you were not a mere possession
something I owned, someone to use
you were a friend, one special person
the one I once thought I'd never lose
