I Love You From a Distance

 

I keep you at a distance

Don’t cross that line there

Don’t get so close

My heart’s off limits.

You can’t have it.

You’ll drop it,

They all do.

 

But inside my heart screams

Cross that line,

Just do it, don’t listen to her

Get close,

Please!

You can have me, I trust you.

You seem different

then the rest.

 

The fear keeps control,

The pain keeps its self

Wrapped around my heart

Keeping back the muffled screams.

The whole time wanting to give you all,

Give you the best of me.

With every secret glance at you,

Every smile you bring me,

Every giggle and brush of your hand

With that twinkle in your eye.

I want to give you all of me,

Give you my heart.

 

I feel it struggling in my chest

Fighting against the pain

That is holding it back.

I don’t know what to do

So I sit here and

I love you from a distance.
