Staring right at you, so close yet so far away
Admiring you from the distance — yes it’s true, I really do.

I plead my eyes to stop staring
I know I shouldn’t, I must not.
For the second time I caught myself looking
You mesmerize me with your innocent smile
But it’s your eyes that had me there for a while

Dreaming someone who’s not in my reach
guess I’m in a big mess again.
I always ended up falling
for the things I cannot obtain.
but it excites me.
and it terrifies me.

So even when loneliness comes crashing through
Even if you have someone new,
I couldn’t care less because clearly
You and only you — 
is what matters to me
and it’s enough for me.
I may never make it in your world,
and these words might be left untold
How I wish someday you will see
that you are the missing part of me.

I stare right at you for the second time
from the moment I saw you,
I just knew — 
From this very view
From this very room
From this very time
From this exact distance ..
Cosmically, My feelings are true
and sadly there is nothing I can do.
