I gaze at you from far away
How you used to brighten my day
I looked forward to meeting
feeling my heart beating
the warmth of your smile
kept me going for awhile
wondering what the next day would hold
it never, ever got old
now you are still within reach
but I might as well be at the beach
I cannot approach or touch
no one notices, it's not much
but to me it was everything
and now it's gone, like my old wedding ring
