Restoration

I must stay away, I can't come any closer, It's a matter of respect and the stress it puts me under, From a distance I can hear without getting involved, So I seperate myself from it all until I hear you call, I knew what it would entail, I knew my heart could get in the way, So I stand at a distance until you find your way, I can't say I don't love you, I can't say it doesn't hurt, But I can say in my heart all the love it's worth, So the tears I cry are not bitter to the taste, It is the salt of my life I've learned to embrace, When they fall for the change that I see, That restoration gives me peace,
