if i cannot see you from afar
look into your eyes, that hint of depth

hidden inside

if i cannot hear you from afar
whisper in my ear, rest assured that

you are near

and i know not what it's like
the aforementioned
for the distance between us

as are the stars, i only have you

in my imagination

in my imagination

just to love you

from afar

if i cannot kiss you from afar

press against your lips, taste the
sweetness of your breath

if i cannot touch you from afar

hold you in my arms, keep you warm
and safe from harm

though our circumstances
cause separation

in the absence
there's a presence in my heart
i will surrender, i'll surrender to my

quiet contemplation

my quiet contemplation

i'll just, i'll just love you

from afar

there must be a better way

a better way of passing the time
'cause' i can't seem to get her out

get her out my of mind
