From Afar

For a guy I once knew.

From afar I noticed you.
The color of your hair, the strength in your face.

Up close I was the one…
Who truly saw you. A great father and friend. An honest and caring man.
Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder, to me you were the most handsome man I had ever seen.

From afar I wanted to be your friend.
We’d have long talks, sharing our dreams and thoughts.
Send e-mails and calls.

Up close I was the one…
Who you said Hi to, or gave a polite how are you?

From afar I prayed for you.
For strength, guidance, happiness and love.

Up close I was the one…
Who shed silent tears for you, because I knew the pain you had gone through.

From afar I longed for someone like you.
A man who was strong and true .

Up close I was the one…
You looked straight through.

From afar, I’ve tried to get you out of my heart and my head.
The stronger I beg God to take the thoughts away,
the stronger they become and the longer you stay.

Up close I was the one…
Who you never knew.
