Loving You, From Afar

I will love you forever,

that truth will never fade.

But loving you too closely

is a wound I cannot trade.

 

I dream of your lips,

your touch, your hand in mine,

yet reality reminds me—

you were never truly mine.

 

So I\'ll love you in silence,

from a distance I must stay,

because holding on too tightly

hurts more every day.

 

Don\'t think my heart is leaving,

it\'s only learning how to hide.

I\'ll keep you safe within me,

just not standing by your side.
