You’re close enough to touch,
But too far away for me to reach you.
There’s a gap between us, girl,
That only time can fill.
You’re close enough to hold,
But we’re too far apart in the things we believe.
We belong in different worlds,
But I love you still.
You were almost close enough
For me to reach out and feel you near me.
I came close to giving in,
But not close enough.
