He Who is Near

Near who holds near

All he holds dear

Who doesn't smile or laugh

Not out loud

He smiles at me

He is beautiful

He laughs as I laugh

It sounds wonderful

He is smart, very smart

But he doesn't quite show

His effect on the people

For he doesn't quite know

He is hansom and charming

He is white and pure

He is Near who holds near

All he holds dear

Who isn't nice or open

But he's nice to me

And he's open with his feelings

But only, but only

When no one can see

He is Near who holds near

All he holds dear

Near, I hope Near,

You'll maybe hold me dear?
