In distance,

I’ve waited for her glance

In distance,

I’ve waited for that rare chance.

In distance,

She smiled and I smiled too

But also in distance,

I weep, for it’s all that I can do.

In spirit,

I hoped for her success

In spirit,

I prayed for her happiness.

In spirit,

I cried over her grief and misery

But also in spirit,

I wish I could have done more to ease her anxiety.

In secret,

I inch my way to her

In secret,

I start to show my care.

In secret,

My love for her is overflowing

But also in secret,

The pain of being unknown and unappreciated is agonizing.

In silence,

I know my feelings are noble and great

In silence,

My secrets are all safe.

In silence,

It is easier to keep

But also in silence,

It hurts so deep.

In time

I’ll finally see

In time

I’ll know why she never liked me.

In time

Things will be different as it used to be

In time

I’ll be the man who I wanted to be.

Yes, in time

My heart will mend and be free

And in that time

I’ll move on and be happy.
