I tread on new ground, step by step
I found a new place, day by day
I made a new friend, face by face
I fell for you therein after
I watch you daily, week by week
I hope you're happy, month by month
But time goes on, year by year
You look my way, and I smile
But I know you're not, looking for me
I am invisible, unseen to your eyes
I am by your side, but cannot touch you
Is this real, or just a fantasy
There is someone else, within your eyes
You see right through me, am I a ghost
You might forget me, day by day
But I will remember, year by year
The friend I made, who pushed me away
