Distance knows, as distance grows,
It's short and long
It can raise the stakes and hopes.
It can make you long for the edge,
For the thing at the other side.
Distance doesn't have to be in miles or in feet.
Distance could be attitudes, expressions;
In class, availability...victories or defeat...
You are out of my reach, a distance away.
I can't help but look your way and pray
Praying you would notice me
You may glace toward me, but its not what I want
I just wish to gaze into your eyes
And have you smile at me...only me.
But two inches between us,
Make it as if we have nothing to say,
And we really have miles between us,
And this distance grows each and every day.
You're the king, the prince of hearts,
While I a simple pawn who would melt
to just get a glimpse of your face.
This distance knows, and oh how quickly it grows
At the end of this road...
We'll never see each other again.
