Verse 1
Five years, a chapter closed, I’m walking through the rain
With laughter in my memory, and love that turned to pain
March left me broken, but somehow I still breathe
Each day a little stronger, even when I grieve
Pre-Chorus
And then I saw you—just a spark in the air
A shadow of someone I used to care
You smiled like he did, you moved just the same
But this isn’t a love, it’s a whisper of his name
Chorus
From a distance, I admire you
Not for who you are but for what I knew
You speak and I freeze, you’re near and I hide
Still healing, still feeling, but keeping it inside
No, I won’t make the first move
Even if I wanted to
I’ll just let the silence say
What my heart can’t push through
Verse 2
Sometimes you tease me, like we’ve got a spark
But your friend’s got eyes too it’s a question mark
Was that smile for me, or a shield you wear?
Is it friendship or fear, or something we won’t dare?
Bridge
I’m not ready for love, but I crave the light
In the safety of a laugh, everything feels right
But in that quiet taxi ride, where no words fell
I felt more lost in the hush than I ever could tell
Chorus
From a distance, I admire you
Not for who you are but for what I knew
You speak and I freeze, you’re near and I hide
Still healing, still feeling, but keeping it inside
No, I won’t make the first move
Even if I wanted to
I’ll just let the silence say
What my heart can’t push through
Outro
And maybe one day, when I’ve let him go
When this crush is no echo, but something I know
I’ll step forward, with less fear in my eyes
But for now, I’ll admire you
From a distance quiet and wise.
