From a Distance

It is strange and funny
Like a game
Being the odd one 
Among others
Way far from age and stage of life

Within hand's reach
Cannot find a person
Similar to me

In finding dreams
Ways to make it happen
Conversation over 
Same problems
Same understanding

Being there
Giving emotional support
Growing old together
Being in arms and smiles

Wandering
If there is one for me
Will it be too late
Will it be too much for me to handle

Does he want to know me
Finding things he loves about me
Open arms to who I really am

Should I risk it all
With a step forward
To get him notice me

Afraid of embarassment
Not able to make it happen
Awkward and maybe uncomfortable
Afterwards

While losing my mind
If I stand there, do nothing
Letting this opportunity goes by
Making me a fool

Only time will tell
Making my heart
Ready to make a move
Towards my prediction

Wish me luck...
