His Knees Go Weak While She Thinks Of Another

She knows her heart still belongs to him; yet she lies in the arms of another.
He whispers into the silence and awakes her from daydreams of someone else-
She mumbles an answer to a question she didn't hear the first nor the second time,
He knows in his heart that she isn't fully his, but for him, ignorance is bliss;
Bending over back wards to make her happy, going to extra mile to make her smile;
There is no doubt that her smile shines brighter than a full moon in December.

The flame of an old love still burns hot inside her heart; it just won't die out;
She's tried, but every night the memories of their love haunt her to tears.
That is when the pictures are no longer hidden and facing down in her nightstand-
The CD he made her many months ago is playing on repeat in an out of date radio,
Clothing she borrowed and "forgot" to give back cover her and the remainder of her bed.
His number is already dialed, all she has to do is press the green button; but she won't.

Instead, she will call the new guy and ask him in the sweetest voice to come over-
Wiping away her mascara trail of tears, she throws on clothes and puts the pictures away,
Headlights shine through her window and she leaps down the balcony stairs and
Into his arms; he can tell she has been crying but doesn't dare ask what is wrong.
He's grateful she called him, even if it is for all of the wrong reasons; he kisses her softly;
His knees go weak whereas images of an ex flow in and out of her mind the whole time...
