I am here, but he doesn't seem to notice
I wonder why I am here, but already know the answer
I hear the school bell ring, but don't move a muscle
I see the tears in his eyes, but can't do anything to stop it
I want to hug him, but I can't get near
I am moving closer, but it feels so far
I pretend not to motice, but he looks up and sees me looking back
I feel a rush of engery, but I can't seem to move
I touch his warm hand, but from here it seems cold
I worry I'm too late, but he is still here
I cry with him, but he cannot see the tears
I am wanting for a miracle, but know it won't happen
I understand why I am here, but not sure he does
I say I am here for you, he doesn't reply
I dream that he will see me, but I feel I'm just a ghost
i try to say I love you, but nothing does come out
I hope he will see the love in my eyes, but he doesn't look at me
I am falling in love, bt he doesn't seem to know.
