So Close, Yet So Far

I'll forever think of you. You're 
So close, yet so far,
But I don't regret a minute.
I realize now how close we really are.

Sometimes, when I'd like you to be here,
I'll wish upon a star.
Then I'll try to imagine you standing by me.
Close, but no cigar.

Thoughts of you
Burn in my head like a scar,
But we live in two different worlds.
We are so close, but so far.
