wasn't there

I was not far
I watched you from there
I smiled
because you looked priceless

I was there
though you didn't see me
though you didn't notice me
I was there as I once promised you.

I wanted to come and say hi
but I didn't have the guts
I wanted to give you this sense of happiness
but I was not there

I was there
looking at you
feeling close to you
like I used to.
