The closest I’ve come to
Hearing your voice
Was overhearing it
As you spoke to someone else
The closest I’ve come to
Seeing you
Was a glimpse
As you walked away
The closest I’ve come to
Talking to you
Was exchanged greetings
While passing each other
The closest I’ve come to
Knowing you
Was what others say about you
Or the e-mails you have sent
Was your title well deserved?
