But That Someone Isn't Me - a poem

You feel you're in love with someone...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
This someone might have my name and face...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
For years you've carried this torch for him...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
You need someone to respect and cherish you...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
You need someone who will arouse and excite you...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to stand at your side and say "everything's okay"...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to stand up to your mom for you...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to break whatever pain you're holding inside...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to stare into your eyes and say "I love you"...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to shield you from the world...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to replace the Backstreet Boys in your heart...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone to give you the fairy tale life you dream of...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone who can live with your insanity...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
Someone that will love you for who you are...
. . . But that someone isn't me.
I wish I could make you understand...
. . . That this someone isn't me.
