i'm okay with loving you from here
gushing from far away
you don't have to wipe my tears
or put your hand on my face
i can love enough to cover the distance
bridge a gap between you and i
just enough to get near you
but not enough to have you in sight
i can love you secretly
truly,
and deep down
i can love you discreetly
tell my full heart
to not make a sound
i can love you from this far
put those feelings on a back shelf
i can miss you and check in on you
and love you just for myself
