Can't Reach You

you'd be right there,

so close to me

but never close enough.

i couldn't reach you

all i wanted was to feel you

just one single time.

i dreamed of holding hands

with your psyche

i longed for your mind to be close,

close to mine

it was just skin deep.

i couldn't reach you.

the wonders inside my mind

were still a mystery to you.

i gave you access to the ocean

yet, you remained on the shore.

i was set ablaze for you

yet, you preferred sparks.

you wanted to fly

so i offered you wings

yet you'd rather jump continuously

i couldn't reach you

i was always too far ahead

i wanted to pick a flower

that was still a seed

and i realized

you'd never catch up

we'd never be on the same wavelength

we'd never be on the same page

i just couldn't reach you...
