I don’t understand it
And it may not be for me
Still I can respect your
Individuality

Though our paths be distant
There is still love in my heart
I can gaze out fondly
While our ways keep us apart

Intercourse w’engage not
For our minds disparate be
It would only lead to
Uncongeniality

That is why I stay back
Smile crooked from afar
Know that though I’m silent
I still love you as you are.

Written about the fondness I feel for people from my past and present with whom I cannot have a substantive relationship due to differences of ideals, temperament, and outlook.
