On a Pedestal

On a Pedestal --- break ---

If I put you on a pedestal,
One which I can never reach,
I can long from far away,
And hold my thoughts yet close,
You may never know,
How much I think of you,
You may guess or presume,
But you will never ask.
So,
If I put you on a pedestal,
What might be,
Will never come to pass.
