Love From Afar

Strange creature and my best friend. The distance between us is great. So why do we pretend. You cross the street as I head to the bar I'll drink to you my dear. For if I cant hold you close. I'll just love you from afar. Like crumbs tossed to a pigeon from a delicate hand. I'll wait like a fool. For my heart is forever yours to command. You say I cause pain when you remember the past. Bitter tears erase the passion. That sometimes isnt ment to last. Sometimes it's easier to forget then remember who we are. if it bothers you to keep me close. Then I'll love you from afar. Standing underneath your window in the pouring rain. Times alone often i do reflect. Love has a way of making the normal seem insane. So very close never knowing who we truley are. Taken from my heart. left only to love from afar.

So sad dear John, I can see you standing in the rain, how heartbreaking indeed. To hold on to a love that doesn't want us is a hard path to loving. A nicely woven piece of your heart JOhn!
