LOVE FROM A DISTANCE

Written for Stormy Lady's Contest

LOVE FROM A DISTANCE

I stand there looking
At the way you smile;
Your face lights up
And all the while

You never realize,
You never will know
Your secret admirer
Loves you so.

Afraid to try
For you might laugh
I keep you close
In a photograph;

And I send a note
And a rose or two
Your secret admirer,
Loving you.

Love from a distance,
Afraid to try,
Keeping it a secret,
Until you ask why.

For you may guess
That it must be me;
Your secret admirer
I'll always be.
