one look at you
and i start to wonder
why the stars seem
so much closer,
closer to my skin

for you stand before me,
near, so very very near
yet so unreachable
and so much farther
than what i want in life

to dream is all that is left,
to smile at all, silently accept,
and sanctify what you once said:
let us not be friends
let us not be anything

we were not meant to be ...
