Close Enough, Far Away

[Verse 1]
We’re close enough to hear each other’s doors,
But miles away from knowing what this is.
Two months of messages, late-night smiles,
Then silence—I watch my phone and wonder when you’ll write.
You said you love me; I held those words all night.

[Chorus]
You want me, I want you, but there’s so much in the way.
We kiss, we care, still don’t know what comes next.
If we’re going to find out where this feeling leads,
Let’s do it slow, with truth—no secrets we can’t keep.

[Verse 2]
You showed up with ice cream, such a little thing,
But I kept that moment like a note you’d leave.
You’re my neighbor, near enough to cross my path,
Yet your life, your responsibilities, make me stop and ask:
Can I tell my family without fearing what they’ll say?

[Bridge]
I don’t want promises that disappear like breath,
Or lose myself just trying to make this work.
No rushing, no pretending—let’s speak honestly.
A feeling can be real and still need room to breathe.

[Outro]
Two months, one kiss, that ice cream, words I still replay.
Whatever happens next, I’ll take care of me along the way.
