closer

april.20.2003

You ask me what I'm thinking,
and words I long to say.
But quickly that I realize,
that you would run away.

You look right through my eyes,
but keep your distance wide.
You long to know the truth,
but these secret I must hide.

Cause fear has taken hold,
and I feel I'll go insane.
I just want you to stay,
I couldn't take the pain.

Closer to your heart,
but there's no place for me.
Closer in my arms,
but you will never be.

I let you go that night,
but a part of me held on.
I still dream of your touch,
long after it's gone.
