...Inches Away...

I see your face everyday
You glance across then look the other way
I struggle to hold in my actions and words
As everyday my heart crumbles and burns
You sat next to me the other day
Yet you never even saw me there
I kept hoping that our eyes would meet
But they didn’t; you remained frozen in your seat

I felt your hair brush past my hand
As your attention remained unfocussed not on me,
But on the other people I remain oblivious to
Because in my mind, babe there’s only you

You lean over slightly and I now become aware
Of the once familiar fragrance that you always wear
Inches away from you I sit reminiscing
Staring at those lips I can now only dream of kissing

I’m oblivious to the happiness of everyone around me
Every second that passes is another moment of misery
I can’t let you see all the pain I’m in now
You finally look my way and smile,
I don’t know why but I smile back anyhow.
