Title: Distant Heart

Author: Esme

Date written: January - March 2000

Disclaimer: poetry and songs usually don't mention names, so they don't really require disclaimers. But however, if you feel that this piece alludes to certain characters from a certain show then I suppose I don't own them, and it's probably the producer of that show who does.

Author's Notes: Just a little piece I wrote aaaaaages ago, and never got around to posting. I actually wrote most of the music before I wrote the words, so yes, it has music! One day I might record it and upload it on the web somewhere, in case anyone wants to listen. I prefer it sung, rather than just reading it, it's better.

Dedication: to Saz.

Distant Heart

I shouldn't really have much to say
'cause I saw you only yesterday,
But suddenly now I have so much to tell
And you won't hear me even if I yell,
But while you were here I never knew
Or I never had the guts to say this to you


I see your face smiling at me
And that's the way I want it to be
But no, it's not like that anymore
I feel you holding me so tight
And that's the way I want it tonight
I love you, why didn't I say it before?


You kept your feelings out of sight
You never revealed them even for one night,
We were always a distance apart
And I could never see into your heart,
There were so many times you pushed me away
And I never really got the chance to say


I see your face smiling at me
And that's the way I want it to be
But no, it's not like that anymore
I feel you holding me so tight
And that's the way I want it tonight
I love you, why didn't I say it before?


I thought that you would always be here
I also thought that you knew no fear,
But in your eyes there was fear enough
Why did you always have to be so tough?
There were times when I couldn't live with you
But now you're gone, what will I do?


I see your face smiling at me
And that's the way I want it to be
But no, it's not like that anymore
I feel you holding me so tight
And that's the way I want it tonight
I love you, why didn't I say it before?
