So close yet so far

“Think of someone that you like in a romantic way. It can be a crush. A friend. A classmate. A co-worker. Or even an acquaintance. Think of that feeling you get when you see them. That butterflies in your stomach feeling you get when you look them in their eyes. That feeling of joy when you see their smile, hear their laugh. That feeling of wanting them to be more than just a crush, a friend, a classmate, a co-worker, an acquaintance. That feeling of wanting to spend the rest of life with them except for the fact it isn’t a want anymore but a need. But no matter how hard you try, how many times you tell yourself you’re going to make it happen, or what you do, you can’t seem to bring yourself to tell them your true feelings. Because everytime you bring up the courage to tell them, you’re afraid of what may go wrong. Maybe they don’t think of you the way you think of them. Maybe you’re reading things wrong. What if you lose them? You want to be super close with them yet you’re worried that they are a lot farther away from you than you had imagined causing you to be scared of losing what you have. So close yet so far is a piano and cello duet that captures this exact feeling of wanting to be close with someone that feels so far away from you.”
