Watch Over

Watch over, from afar

You could be closer 

But it's just who you are

Hold onto the distance if you must

Even if I wish you could leave your heart to me, with trust

 

Keep watching, even if you can’t say

Though, I hope you will someday

I’m okay. 

So long as you stay

Please don't quit your watch

Even if you have found a more appropriate match 

I'd feel your eyes disappear 

creating a void I could not bear

We can pretend forever 

As long as this connection does not sever 

So watch over and know that I know

And that I promise to never let feelings show

Unless someday you ask

Until then I will wear the mask

Pretending to be blind

but knowing your eyes are never far behind.
