As Close As We Will Ever Be

peering into your eyes

i am trying to understand you

hoping to know you

a little better with each glance

when the world is mad

i want to save it for you

but i can't

when love is distracted

i want to get its attention for you

but i can't

and when all you want

is a couple arms to wrap around you

just to be able to feel the sensation of touch

reciprocation of a warm embrace

i want to hold you

but i can't

for this is as close as we will ever be

as long as this mirror is between us
