There you stand. Just a foot from me, Your eyes say you want me, But your body doesn't move. You walk away and so do I, And I don't look back, but I know you're looking over your shoulder, watching me leave. Convincing yourself this is what you want. I want to turn around. Run to you and kiss you, and yell at you to want me too. To want me as bad as your eyes say you do. To love me with force And to not be afraid. But I am fearless. And you are determined to be alone.

Long distance
There you stand. Just a foot from me, Your eyes say you want me, But your body doesn't move. You walk away and so do I, And I don't look back, but I know you're looking over your shoulder, watching me leave. Convincing yourself this is what you want. I want to turn around. Run to you and kiss you, and yell at you to want me too. To want me as bad as your eyes say you do. To love me with force And to not be afraid. But I am fearless. And you are determined to be alone.
