Loving from afar

I want to sing it loud and clear,
That this loving from afar,
I don't want this secret;
I want the world to know.

You look the other way
When our paths cross.
I bite my tongue
This loving from afar.

From across the room
I realise I'm just a willing fool;
A confident spark
Burning like an ember long forgotten

So this is how we must remain
Silence is a blessing
Must it be so?
This loving from afar

It shouldn't come as a surprise
With those bright blue eyes
What I'm feeling
This loving from afar

I'm stuck on this plate
That someone spins so wildly
Tipping toppling turning;
You were the clown that stopped me

This loving from afar
I understand.
Silence is a blessing.
It must be so.

Goodbye
