Time

Bound by your restrictions
My smile you never want to see
If it can't be you,
Then it can't be him.

I was always around,
But never good enough.
What you needed.
But not at the time.

For 7 years I was here
A wallflower that was never picked
I sat blooming
Maturing into my beauty.

You watched me with observant eyes
Yet you never parted your lips
As i grew into my skin
They boys noticed me.

Biting your lip
The green in your eyes
Grew darker from jealousy
Continuing to sit on your hands.

He saw me from a distance,
And me his valentine
Priceless by his appraisal,
He reached out for my hand.

How dare you do such things
He doesn't have the right
You saw me first
So I should be your's by law of sight.

My heart is spoken for,
and it's not by your voice
Time was wasted
Your minute hand never reached for mine.

You are to blame
For you,
I never waited
Time on me in vain.
