Distance

In my heart
You’re always here
Though miles separate us
You’re always near

My heart is yearning
For somewhere between
Where we could meet
And be unseen

I’d whisper my thoughts
Into your ears
You’d know all my hopes
You’d share all my fears

But the distance between us
Has lengthened with time
It’s not just physical
But a distance of mind

I’m losing you slowly
And it’s breaking my heart
You’re farther away
We’re farther apart

Although you don’t love me
Or miss me this much
My young heart is yearning
For the feel of your touch

Your hand in my hand
Or my head on your chest
Forgetting the world
Forgetting the rest

But this distance between us
Is too far to cross
And to you I’m long gone
I’m already lost
