from afar

Everything is like magic whenever I see you

My heart skips a beat; I can feel it thumping fast

That even if I told myself the feelings are no longer there

It all goes back to me by just one glimpse of you.

And so here I am loving you from afar, over again

Concealing my identity as a friend

Because I know that is what I will ever be

Maybe this friendship state of ours will make me happy.

I wish I won't be half-hearted in saying I'm over you

But I realized that there are just people you can never unlove

Looking at you, I can still feel the spark

And every quick touch is electrifying my very core,

That seeing you sleep on my lap is heaven

I just wish that time will stop for me then

I want to caress your face gently and softly

But I only end up staring at you, again.

Maybe I can never really have your heart

Even if mine was always yours for the taking

Time and again I will admiring you from afar

Loving you in silence, even if it torments

For this is the only way I can keep you, till the end.

I still love you even if it hurts.

But I have to love myself, too.

So I chose to accept what cannot be,

and gradually let you go.
