No way I feel this for real
I don't have any feelings
That was part of the deal
Makes things easier
always being numb
Never worried about
What I may or may not become
Friends like you don't really exist
Or have I quit believing
That I would ever be able
to care in this live I'm living.
Truth is I do care,
I care a great deal
But I'm also very afraid
You'll turn out not to be real.
If I reach to touch you,
Will you really be there?
Or will my hands find nothing
And grasp only at air?
Or are you one of the few
The ones I quit looking for
Can you care about me
Like noone has before?
You are very special
in a million little ways
And just the thought of you
Can brighten up my days
I've never felt this close
And though you're far away
My fondest wish is to hold you
Even if it's only for a day.
