So close, yet so far

Whenever I see your face,
your smile lights up my day.
I could spend the rest of my life,
just listening to what you say.

If you ever become mine,
I will never go to sleep.
Reality will be better than a dream,
tears of joy I’ll weep.

I think of you every day,
every night I dream of you.
I miss you when you are not near,
my whole world evolves around you.

My mind tries to convince my heart,
nothing will happen between us.
But my heart won’t listen to reason,
I keep betting against the odds.

I wonder to myself,
trying to understand how this happened
can’t get you out of my head,
obsessed with the feelings you awakened.

Maybe some lonely nights,
my heart grows cold and tired.
But next time I see you,
with a smile you rekindle the fires.

All I need to get on with my life,
to get back on my feet.
Is for you to notice me,
hold me, love me, save me.
