Close but Gone

Just a moment, lost in your light

Feeling everything but not quite right

Close in proximity, hearts in disguise

Wishing for something that doesn't align

We share secrets in the midnight glow

Laughing till the stars fade and go

Every word, a truth so pure

Yet inside, I feel the ache endure

Trying so hard to hold on tight

Every effort, day and night

But your heart, it’s out of sight

Leaving me in quiet fight

Lost in the in-between, where dreams collide

Holding onto hope, but I can't hide

We’re nearly perfect, yet worlds apart

My silent ache, a beating heart

Every glance, a stolen breeze

Moments weighty with memories

I open up, I let you see

The version of me that longs to be

Trying so hard to hold on tight

Every effort, day and night

But your heart, it’s out of sight

Leaving me in quiet fight

Lost in the in-between, where dreams collide

Holding onto hope, but I can't hide

We’re nearly perfect, yet worlds apart

My silent ache, a beating heart

If only words could change the tide

Make you see what’s deep inside

But sometimes love’s a quiet storm

Leaving scars that stay and warm

So I’ll hold this tender pain

Wish you’d feel the same again

Close in proximity, hearts in disguise

Loving you from afar, with quiet skies
