I watch you from across the room
A distance much too far
Trying like a little child
To reach a distant star
Your eyes can see through anything
Especially through me
With them you look into my soul
And read my fantasy
One touch could make flowers bloom
And shine a brand new light
I wish the time I spend with you
Would last more than “just one night”
I hope someday your precious lips
would contact only mine
And then the rain would go away
So that the sun could shine
I hate to see you this way
It hurts me deep inside
I know you know just how I feel
Though it’s what I hide
You’re so polite to everyone
That’s really what I need
You make your friends so proud
But am I just another face
 Within a busy crowd
Should I call to talk to you
And continue to make myself more known?
Or do I just give up the fight
And leave you well alone?
Throughout your life, friends come and they go
With things you will regret
You’re with the ones I love the most
And never will forget!!!
