You are so very close
The proximity is unbearable
Yet we are so far away in our hearts
The distance is unbearable
And when my thoughts are upon you
A flutter taunts the pit of my stomach
Like a nervous bird, caged
Shivers run the length of my body when we touch
My pulse races when your mouth leans in
To whisper words of provocation to my ear
Alas! as raw as the feelings are for me
Are they for you?
For the truth of the matter is
Your heart is with another.

You are so very close
The proximity is unbearable
Yet we are so far away in our hearts
The distance is unbearable
And when my thoughts are upon you
A flutter taunts the pit of my stomach
Like a nervous bird, caged
Shivers run the length of my body when we touch
My pulse races when your mouth leans in
To whisper words of provocation to my ear
Alas! as raw as the feelings are for me
Are they for you?
For the truth of the matter is
Your heart is with another.
