The saying “so close but yet so far” has never made sense to me.
Because he is right here but I have never felt so far from him
I feel lost in bubbles
The ones he drinks from his soda
He consumes me without even noticing who he is drowning
Not that he would care anyway
He always sat in the front row hands raised
I was chewing my nails in the back wishing you would turn around
We were paired up once
HE said I was smart
Did he see my smile?
