Chapter 1: Admiring You From Afar

The one who brings you happiness is often the same one who causes your sorrow.

Whenever I see you
It makes my heart happy
I couldn't explain what it is
Though I don't spend time with you
Looking at you from afar
Makes it feel like you're closer

I wish I can tell you the things in my mind
I wish I could talk to you about things in life
About what makes my day, or what upsets me
I wish I could have a conversation with you
Where we can only listen to each other's story
To laugh and even cry if it's needed

I admire you from afar
Without you knowing
You will never know
I will keep it in my heart as long as I can
I know this is just part of my journey
You will be part of it
Without you knowing

I will keep it in my heart
Somehow, someone like me
Admire you from afar

I wish you good things in life
A good partner one day
I don't even know if I am ready to know
That one day you will have your own partner
Someone you love

I cannot love you
I cannot care for you
So what I can only do is to pray for you
That one day you will find that someone
I hope you will be loved by her deeply
The way I wish I could do

I will be right here, from afar
Loving you...I don't even know if this is love
I think I am just happy to see you
It feels like there's connection since day one
It has some tension whenever you're around
I am not even sure if you feel the same

I felt it a few times that you get shy around me
I thought I was the only one who felt it
But I caught you a few times
I remember the day you stared at me
I wish I knew what's on your mind
You stared at me and I stared back
We were both looking at each other
Without even smiling

You were the first to look away
I laughed in my head thinking
'Aha, do you think I can't stare back?'
But wondering what was in your mind
While staring at me
Those eyes are speaking
But I couldn't hear anything
But I felt something

Unsure. I wanted to ask
'Do you like me?'
But who am I to ask?
I would be afraid of your answer
What if you said yes?
My heart will be broken
Because I know I cannot like you back
And if you said no
That's a bummer
I would be hurt but laugh at myself
Assuming that there is something there
Even just a little bit
Oh well, let's get over it
That would be my next move.
