He sat so close,
But I knew he really was far away,
Dreaming of someone else.
Not knowing my dreams were always of him.
That my mind would constantly wander his way.
And he would never know.
I seemed so close.
Was I too close?
I feared that my feelings would show;
That they would intoxicate him,
But it was worth just sitting there besides him,
Lingering in his presence.
