i know you're too far to grasp
and that i can't be on your mind
and yet whenever my eyes are closed
its your face that wastes my time
and you can probably see it in my smile
because that's how observant you are
yet you save me the shame of admitting it
and pretend it's invisible
thanks
i'm trying to push the feelings away
to throw them out and lock them up
i walk away for weeks and weeks
but
i can't stay away, hun
now i'm back
and sad again
because seeing you hurts my soul
i text you but
i know you won't respond
i will stay in the background
if that is what you would prefer
if that's what it takes for me to be near you
i can do that—
i think
i can be your friend
although, i must admit
the words "just friends" won't suffice
is there any way i can be yours
and you, mine?
