Distant Hearts

People tell me I'm crazy

To feel the way I feel

Becuase it's all superficial

It's based on nothing real

 

I know in my heart

How great a person you are

And that can't be fake

Or it wouldn't have gotten this far

 

But I am really scared

Of feeling this way

I'm scared someone better

Will take you away

 

It's happened before

And it could again

Because you're truly amazing

Others will see it, and, what then?

 

What then for us?

It just won't be

I don't begrudge you happiness

I just wish it was with me

 

It would be so easy

To just walk away now

To never find out what could be

But that won't do somehow

 

I'll take a chance on you

I'll put my heart on the line

It could just work for us

It could all be fine
