Close

I'd probably say hi,
Like normal people do,
Make a stupid joke,
Wish I never spoke,
Then we'd laugh,
Short and sweet,
Arrange a time and place to meet,
All in all sounds pretty great,
Almost like it could be fate,
Problem is I'm frozen too,
No way I can talk to you,
So I sit down where I always sit,
And ask myself is this really it?

I've never been so close,
Without ever being close,
If we talk then there's a danger,
You'll only see the stranger,
And you'll never know the heart of which you've always been a part.

Even if I went for broke,
Walked up to you and finally spoke,
Would it really work out to be,
Exactly like my fantasy,
There's something in cherishing what you don't know,
No need to shovel under the snow,
I like you how I think you are,
Even if it's from afar.

I've never been so close,
Without ever being close,
If we talk then there's a danger,
You'll only see the stranger,
And you'll never know the heart of which you've always been a part
