Admiring

I stand at a distance,

Admiring from afar,

I realize now,

Just how far away you are.

I love you with all my heart,

But you just turn away,

And tear my heart apart.

The way your hair catches the light,

The way your smile shines so bright.

The way you laugh,

Is beautiful to me,

Oh if only,

if only you could see.

Could see the love,

The pain, the tears,

Could see the heartache, and the fears.

If only, if only you could see,

Just how much you mean to me.

But until that day,

I'll stand at a distance,

Admiring from afar,

And try not to remember,

Just how far away you are.
