Five years late

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.
