COMFORTABLE DISTANCE
"Darling, love", I heard some said
"Love with compassion"
Reach out and show it up
Connect and close that gap
Love, and pour out your heart
For love is so strong
Stirring up the soul
But here I am
Trembling
Afraid of the fire
That burns and hurts
No more, no more
Don't wanna see the tears
Falling silently in solitude
Again
So I've stopped hoping
Stopped expecting
And learned to be content
I'm keeping
This comfortable distance
With you
Amidst a thousand of unsaid
"How are you?"
And a myriad of
And a myriad of
Untold wishes and desires
To see you
To hear your voice
To just be there with you
To just be there with you
Ain't it awkward?
But I'm content
Standing here, watching you from afar
So I'm keeping
This comfortable distance with you
Telling you tales you would never hearUnder the dark starry sky
