Futile Dance

I watch you from afar Smiling at your friends As they envelop you in warmth While I stand in the frosty mist You are the sun I am the earth Basking in your light Never to touch you If I could only reach you The sweetest dream life would be And never would I let go But the dream never comes A wall divides us Built with stones of insecurity Each time I get closer Fear pulls me back Your heart is also afraid I wish to comfort it To give you strength, life, love To light your way Your eyes turn to me My mind races You speak to me My heart skips a beat Muscles turn to stone Mind turns to cloud I mutter something back We return to our futile dance Closed eyes cannot hide you Every minute reminds me of you Never shall I know your heart As I fear it has no room for mine
