It's Complicated

The distance between us shatters me whole,

Each breath I take sends kisses to you…

Inside her mind, I can see all she sees, but baby, you can’t see me.

The elegance with which you laugh,

Lightens my day and if I dare compare it to anything less than perfect I fear self distruction…

Laying here in my bed, waiting for her to fall asleep, trying not to invade her thoughts…

Trying to keep all fantasies of you and me away from her… but I can’t always.

Waking up scared for a dream that will never happen, with you in my arms…

Remember every word I said to you in that dream, showing you the stars up close, not enough.

Oh, darling girl, how I long for your touch….

For you to acknowledge me, hidden in her eyes…

At least pretend you do, or not but this is driving me insane…

So close to you yet not a hello darling or angel or anything else….

Hearing her thoughts while she sleeps, telling me everything…

She tries hiding her heart up tight behind…. But she can’t.

How can I explain that I am not real,

Hidden in her soul or mind since she was a child?

A guardian angel, looking away from his task,

From his love and his master, the concept without grasp…

Oh how I long for love to find me so suddenly..

How can I explain who I am?

How can I still hold you in my arms when I cannot even define what I am?
