Oh, fellow of the heart
second you are not,
for this fair woman you love
is yours to sherish this day foward.

And think not of what may's
or travel down roads envy,
become more than just a common man
and her heart will take you into her.

So think not of what we were
as two who care, and understood,
that the two of you need to be,
as I am the one who is second to thee.

ya know MG...
they say timing is everything...
"another place, another time" ...
"second" only by circumstance...
not by character and heart..
what your expressing in this poem
makes my point for me...
