A near friend who is so far.

Your forced smile told me that you were sad,
Wasn't it?

Your shaking hands told me that you were upset,
Wasn't it?

Your broken heart just wanted to let it all go,
Wasn't it?

Your moist eyes couldn't make those tears hold,
Wasn't it?

Yet I stared at you like a lifeless doll,
Didn't I?

Yet I kept hesitating to knock on that wounded door,
Didn't I?

Yet my mouth couldn't utter a single thing,
Didn't I?

Yet I didn't provide you with anything,
Not even a shoulder pat,
Not even a word.

It just feels painful.
