How close I am to the world I wonder
close enough that I exist amidst it, not enough that I embrace it
Like the breeze that flows past me
Close enough, I can feel, not enough that I can hold
Like the fragrance of a lily that mesmerises me
Close enough, I can breathe not enough that I can keep
Like the moonlight that falls over me
Close enough, I can bathe not enough that I can grab
Like the sweetest dream in my sleep
Close enough, that I rejoice not enough that I can experience
Like all the desires I had, I have
Close enough, to make me restless not enough that I can live them
Like the bond I share with myself
Close enough that I keep secrets, not enough that I can cherish being alone.
Like the bond I share with myself
Close enough that I keep secrets, not enough that I can cherish being alone.
