Close Yet So Far
I remember those eyes,
The way they gave me hope.
I remember that smile,
Always there to lift me up.
And that chance to see those again,
Is fading into the night.
It blends in with the darkness.
The dark hides it from my presence,
And yet I still search.
Hoping that it’s not really hidden from me,
But I believe I must be trying in vain,
For all seems to be vanishing.
You are there so close to me,
I can see you standing there.
But it now seems that if a cloud of dust has come,
Come to hide you from my view.
I know that you’re there,
But you’re hidden from my reach.
I can’t find my feet,
Because if I could,
I would step forward to be there.
It’s much like the ocean.
You can see it,
But you can’t reach as far as it goes,
You can’t see as far as it goes.
I reach out my arm to take hold,
But you’re too far.
I look hard into the distance,
But you’re still too far.
Even though you’re standing right beside me,
Even though I can see you right beside me.
I’m sorry that such truth lies in my heart,
I wish it weren’t true,
I wish none of this had ever happened.
