Some loves are just meant to be

And I believe so are we.

But keep your distance from me

For ours is meant to just be

A love from afar.

I am drawn to you like moth to flame

But we repel as flame and rain, and

You drink me in, rain in a desert.

When you deserted, all that was left

Is a love from afar.

You hurt me so I never chased you,

Guilt assuaged me fro I hurt you too.

We never managed to pull this through,

'Cause together we were never whole

In this love from afar.

So here is where we must part

To restart our bleeding hearts.

Now is when I must depart;

Such is the fate to be had

By a love from afar.
