I look from afar
At you
You are too far
You are too close
Your eyes are the ocean when the sun rises
Icy glaciers and piercing blue skies
Why?
Why do I stand and watch you from over here?
Why can\'t I get close, get near?
Would you ever let me in your atmosphere?
Smile, quicker than a flea
Please don\'t let it flee
I yearn for, if ever, you\'ll smile at me
I admire you
I have for too long
Written poem and song
It\'s embarrassing, I know
Pathetic at most
On the cross-country team
Tall and lean
I run behind you, do you notice me there?
I\'ve become acquainted with the sound of your breath
The rhythm of your stride
When you pass me by
I know which side to go to
When you pass me by
Will this feeling pass me by?
I wish to run at your side
Most likely will never
Only can dream
Speaking of dreams
I don\'t want to sound like a creep
But you\'re in my thoughts when I sleep
I dream that you hold my hand
I dream we run on roads, trails, beaches of white sand
I dream you look at me, notice me here and there and everywhere
I dream you smile, genuine and pure
I dream you laugh, laugh like I\'m funny and I\'ll laugh because you\'re happy
I dream I rest my head on your shoulder and you rest your head on mine
I dream you share your worries, burdens, goals, happiness, sadness, everything
I could tell you this all
I might nosedive
I don\'t think you know
Do you even know I\'m alive?
For now, though, all I can do is look
Look out for you, in little ways I do
From afar
