Keeping Distances
And I could not forget your beautiful smile
The way you waved your fingers when you said goodbye
I held my breath for just a little while
And I regret not looking in your eyes
I should have counted back from three
To say hello when you greeted me
'Coz after I pretend I didn't see
You might forever leave me be
If only I somehow held your gaze
Even when my mind is in a haze
Maybe my silence could somehow chase
Your image that I could never erase
And forever, this distance I will keep
Though I might have you in my sleep
These feelings nobody could ever peep
I'll bury it under a well so deep.
