Out of Reach

He never noticed the ache in my laughter
Nor the pain behind my smile

Our accidental touch, he never discerned
Yet I'd see the moment for miles

His benevolent smile allured me
But I was not the only one

His new love's hand was filled with his
And their chapter had begun

I could no longer stand by
And keep my heart leashed

But all at once
He had never felt so out of reach
