You simply walk by
Like I was air
A shadow thin, barely there.
I talk in silence, I scream inside
As you still turn and let me slide.

You are so close, I can feel your skin,
Yet you are so far I could never get in.
You laugh, you live, your world goes on,
While I feel the tears, not even my own.

You are gone when I need you most,
A flight of light, a missing ghost.
Tomorrow comes and you may show,
But never quite enough to hold me close.

Ignore me now, forget this face,
Come back when time has left its trace.
