So Close Yet So Far

The first time our lips shared a kiss Was even better than first time I shot a 3 pointer and didn’t miss. I can’t help but smile when I picture your beautiful face, Believe me when I say no one can ever take your place. A piece of my heart is yours, I believe it’s corazon in Spanish, But this is my worry, that my feelings for you may never vanish. Whenever I have the chance to make a wish upon a star, I wish for you, because I feel I’m so close, yet so far… Maybe it’s because of expectations I just can’t meet, Maybe it’s because of my spirituality, although I feel that aspect of life is right at my feet, Maybe if I was Puerto Rican with 40-inch arms, I can never be Puerto Rican, but maybe I can grow some guns if I finally set the alarms. Maybe if I was someone with an engineer job who you can take home to mom, But my ambitions are growing, so much so that it’s hard for me to keep calm. Whenever I have the chance to make a wish upon a star, I wish for you, because I feel I’m so close, yet so far… I love you as my best friend, but also love you in that other way, So sorry I have complicated things so much, but is it possible one day I can still call you bae? Deep down I know the answer, but a part of me still wants to hold faith and hope, I would to do anything to catch the girl of my dreams, man that would be so dope. Even if not with you in the end, I am still thankful for this experience of being in love, Ever since it happened, I still can’t help but thank the man above…
