Second

Second choice and second best
Second place to all the rest
Crossed the line between "friends" and "more"
Crossed my fingers, it's all I hope for
Feelings put out but not returned
A lesson taught, a lesson learned
Everything short of "I love you"
Everything short of being used
Either way, you get the girl
Your true feelings now unfurled
Got to finish what you've started
You'll be sorry once we've parted
Feelings twisted but never changed
Thoughts in your head rearranged
Won't wait forever to be loved
But you're all I'm thinking of
Putting up and pulling down
Feelings scattered on the ground
Not giving up but giving in
Finally time for me to win*
