Near and Far

If it’s ok I’ll just stay here
sitting, staring at the ground
can’t think of a better place to look
so I’ll just keep looking down

Do you mind if we just wait here
maybe just to be around
could we linger in this hapless search
pretend what’s lost might yet be found

Is it fine to just delay here
if we hardly make a sound
let heavy hearts hold words at bay
let sighs grow more profound

Would it be alright to just remain here
stay with this feeling that confounds
like something near and also far
