i was hoping
i'd reach you
i was hoping
i could touch
a part of you
you keep hidden
from the world
from everyone else
ambitious, i know
but i was hoping
in some small way
i could begin
to crumble some
of the walls
you put around you
melt your heart a bit
know you a little deeper
solve some of your puzzles
find out what makes you tick
uncomplicate
your complicated mind

i thought
if you would only
let me in a bit
not too much
then you might
see me too
feel me too
hear what i need to tell you
you'd come around
you'd want what i want
need me a little
i thought
if i gave you my heart
show you my world
then you'd want to be in it

was i ever more wrong?

i'm as close
as i can possibly get
as you can possibly let me
i can't get any nearer
without you
running away again
so i'm gonna stay here
i know you might not
come to me
but i'm gonna wait anyway
