(AN: Again this goes out to my special one, a good friend I fell in love with my Freshman year of college (2002-2003). Though she is happily with another, she has my heart and friendship. FYI her name isn't Lili or Marlene, it's just that the song Lili Marlene really inspires my feeling for her.

For Lili Marlene

I saw you walk to class with him today.
As the cold air ebbed my spirits away.
I know your love for each other is true.
And that is why I feel so blue.

I shed tears now, for you, Lili Marlene.
I love you still, despite the angst and pain.
Valentine's Day, coming soon, for me only gloom.
Apparently love for me has no room.

February, for others a month of true love.
For me shattered dreams and no mercy from above.
Walking with my coat 'round my ears.
I didn't care if the air froze my tears.

I want you to be happy, special and loved.
Even if it means I'm not your beloved.
Hurt and anger dog me constantly with pain.
Despite that, I'll love you again and again.

I remember September when we first met.
You were on crutches, your face was wet.
I offered to carry your backpack and books.
My heart melted with those warmly thankful looks.

Four months later, in December, at the airport.
Where we waited to fly to our distant courts.
The novel I brought to pass the time, put aside.
When I saw you at the terminal airside.

We talked and chatted for hours on end.
I felt special and loved, wonderful friend.
When we at last parted at last light.
Twas then that my heart did take flight.

The next semester I'd gained a good friend.
No idea though my heart would be break and rend.
It was in September of this year.
Where I began to suffer without peer.

You asked me had I met your boyfriend.
And after that, my world came to an end.
Devastated and forlorn, my kindness repaid.
I am now of myself, but a heartbroken shade.

You, my inspiration and light, my Lili Marlene.
The tears I shed now, for you my Lili Marlene.
