From Afar

I watched you suffer

Always smiling, even when

She went behind your back

Then tried to get you back

I didn't know your name, and yet,

Your eyes spoke of your soul

I wondered who you were

I wandered where you were

I met you in the room of red

The color of my face and yours;

I stumbled through my words

You smiled in your words

You ended things with her

And seemed resolved, but finally free

Your eyes, they shone with hope

And I suppressed my hope

One day, you found a different heart

To give new life to you

I smiled through my pain

You seemed so free of pain

But all too soon, it came to pass

That you needed some space

She left her spot beside you

I saw the hole inside you

You've caught the eye of many girls,

And you don't realize why

You're wonderful inside and out

I wish my feelings could come out

I just don't stand a chance with you,

And I'm too scared to try

I hope I'll be the friend you need

I'll help you find the heart you need

Even if you never see

The love I feel for you,

I want you to be happy

That would make me so damn happy

Even though my heart is torn

In loving you so much,

I know someday you'll smile.

Wish that I could be the reason

For your smile.
