I'm not tired of loving you from afar
It's okay, if I'm not even where you are
If it's you, I'd even sing my experience of loving you on my guitar
The journey of loving a girl that is-- you are
I could only see you when you're with him
Painful but also lights me up because he makes you happy
It's okay if I pretended not to care when I see you
It's okay if you can't get those eyes to look at me too
I exist to witness the way you look at the one you love
Your passion was evident as I see in your eyes--the word love
The smile drawn on your lips will never be for me
Neither the shine in your eyes when you see him, I see
It's okay if it's not my name that you constantly uttering
It's fine having no evidence of my initials on your lips
Your existence alone forms a joy in my heart
No matter the distance, Never mind if we are kilometers apart
Just know that someone out here care, even if you never knew
Someone who lives at the back, silently admiring the life that you drew
That even when the world seem to turn its back on you
And if he ever leaves you, I'll just be right here, My love, it's true.
But fate made me someone you won't need
Kismet made me breathe just to not even be seen
So Let me hide the contents of my heart
And once again, I'll do my part
For you, the most genuine and very precious sweetheart
The risk of falling and being hurt if it's you
You know, loving you from afar?
