Being With You

By: Lisa Hoffman

I would love to be with you again
But I'm still with the one I love most
And I know it would be wrong for me to be with you
And I know it would hurt you the most

I've never wanted two men before
Until you came along I was happy enough
Now I don't know who it is I want
That one night just wasn't enough

I had planned my life to be with him
It's hard to change what seemed to be the only thing
Ending it after all this time would not be easy
I can't help thinking "what's the right thing?"

Starting anew would be hard at first
If I had you by my side I know I could get through it
But like you said, you have nothing to offer me
Then tell me why am I even thinking about it?

I think about you everyday
I dream about you every night
Even when I'm with him I wish it was you
I can't stop thinking about that night

You were so easy to talk to
You made me feel special again
I can't help wishing we had gone out before
I can't help wishing we could be together again

I'm glad you had fun when you were with me
I had fun being with you too
Everyone said that you liked me
I can't deny I like you too

Now I know how my boyfriend felt
When he had met someone like I met you
I could never understand how he could even think to choose
But his caring for her is like me caring for you

If it's what I want why does it feel so wrong,
And if I still love him why does it feel so right?
I don't want to leave the one I love
But I can't help wishing it was over
So we could be together and it would be right
