At a Safe Distance

It seemed as though

What I wanted could never be

Dystopia left for me to discover

And you rather going far, far away

At a safe distance

I’ve watched you

The glint in your eyes

That I alone have seen

At a safe distance

I’ve seen you

You and your life so beautiful

And yet your life so destructive to mine

At a safe distance

Jealousy seeping in me

For your happiness is my misery

My ache growing to longing of you

At a safe distance I loved you

At a safe distance I had lived the utopian world

A world with you and me alone

A world where in the safe distance I fooled myself
