From Afar

Sometimes I want to confess everything, but I stand from afar instead. Forever in the shadows but always by your side. As I hear you yearn and talk of another. All that keeps me alive is the girl I yearn for. And so I stay in the sideline, to observe and protect you. To contemplate my feelings more clearly. To always be there, even when you don't want me. No one can stop a heart once it starts falling. No one can stop a beat once the pace has started. Don't tell me my heart is in the wrong place. I dream of waking up with her by my side, her in a deep sleep. But instead I must stay afar, in the shadow but always by you're side. I contemplate telling her, but I keep silent as a forest primeval. And sometimes she knows what I'm thinking escaping my eyes.
