Smile (Feelings #1)


I watch you from a distance 
Eyes, lips, I long to touch 
Yet you seem more than a million miles away. 
 I wonder what's going on in that mind of yours, 
I rebuke myself for hoping I'm one of your thoughts, 
I tell myself, "There's nothing you can do about it" 
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. 
I watch you from afar, 
I can't tell what you're smiling at,
I wish I could make you smile.
