Watching From a Distance

Sometimes when I watch you

You seem like the same person

That I once knew

And watch from a distance

But never able to do more

Than I ever would

Looking at you

I find again I am starving

In your mystery

So far away and some kind of helplessness

And then I remember

That I know you love me, I know you do

Sometimes when I

I listen to your fearless voice

It's the voice I once heard

I want to know you

And understand you more

Than I fear I do

To keep the wonder

The moment you seem like a stranger

To my heart and me

And all I want

In an instant I see you perfected again

Though you'd never change

Please remember when you ever think of me
