I’m falling once more, deeper each day,
in love with a feeling I can’t keep at bay.
This spark that you give, it catches my heart,
though you’re close, you still feel so far apart.
Could you step just a little nearer?
Make this vision of you clearer?
Your voice, your laugh, the way you stand—
everything about you feels unplanned.
I’m falling for a dream that can’t be mine,
a guy who loves someone else, maybe fine.
But why not me? Why this silent plea?
Why the signals you send but won’t let me see?
Are we only tangled in what’s unsaid?
A joke I laughed off now lives in my head.
When my friend said, “You like him, don’t you?”
I replied, “Then he must like me too.”
But why does this joke feel painfully true—
so real, it aches through and through?
