My life is a mess. 

It is my duty to protect 

you from the same experience.

Hence, I need to maintain a painful distance.

 

You shine like the brightest star in the sky

but currently, I am saying goodbye 

to everything in my life.

Each day is becoming more difficult to survive. 

 

I love you with my whole heart

yet I need to keep you physically apart 

from me so you don’t get hurt.

I am saving you from dust and dirt.

 

I can’t let the darkness in me

dim the light that you carry.

I can’t shine my radiance.

I am being at a distance for your happiness.
