You Will Never Know

There you are, ordering your coffee
Here I am, three people behind
You, the subject
Me, the observer
Me, enthralled, you blissfully blind

There you are, fumbling with your wallet
I'm a stranger standing in line
Then you smile, and float towards the exit
Just like that, the room starts to shine

The moment comes, a moment near
Then suddenly, you disappear
Off to live your separate life you go
You changed me, but you will never know

There you are (at the bus stop)
Sitting at the stop light (checking on the time)
I'm here too (I'm here) one car to your right
(There are) merely inches and worlds in-between us
You make something inside me ignite

Briefly there, briefly seen
Then naturally, the light turns green
You leave me in the iridescent glow (and then somehow)
I'm different, but you will never know

You are perfect, to me, you are perfect
I fill the blanks and I make you ideal
You are kind, you are gracious
Loyal, tenacious
Why should I care if you're not really real?

You pose no hazard, you make no demands
You're someone who listens, supports, understands
You're someone who'll always be there
(You are)
(Passing on the sidewalk)
(Reaching for your locket)
(Entering a building)
(Waiting by the)
Waiting for a show

So unsuspecting, never connecting
Like wind-driven crystals of snow
And you'll never know (you'll never know)
(You'll never know)
(You'll never know)
(You'll never know)
(You'll never know)

There you are, ordering your coffee
Once again you puncture my heart
You, still smiling
Me, still observing
Still, a gaping chasm apart

I gaze across the great abyss
And teeter on the precipice
I take a leap without a net below
You inspire me, to finally say, "Hello"

Hi (hello?)
I've seen you here before
I wanted to introduce myself
Hi (ah)
