The Far Away Man

Theres a person I know
who lives far away
who 'clicks' with my actions
and things that I say
I wonder what would happen
if he was close by
Would it be more than friendship
would there be a spark in our eyes?
Theres something behind it
its not that we know
or able to put a finger on
why these feelings grow
So I stop myself thinking
and hoping for more
And concentrate on being the friend
he adores
But it gets harder each day to keep it locked in
and harder to steady when he says with a grin
'I have found myself a lovely local girl'
and while I encourage with words of saddened glee
I wonder why he hasnt thought that of me
So perhaps the miles are there for protection
A buffer against this far away mans rejection
So the feelings I feel I will lock deep within
And smile as I hope that his new love begins,
not with me but this lovely local lass
and still in the evenings on the phone we will gas
Of day to day things that we have done
and my deep feelings locked away from harm
