A Distance So Far

Underneath the moon’s soft glow

I carefully let the longing flow.

Five hours of road stretch between,

Yet in my dreams, he’s often seen.

**

His laughter, like a distant song,

Not to hear his voice is simply wrong.

Oh, how I yearn to see his eyes

His smile and face, a great surprise!

**

With every passing mile, I ache,

Longing for the day we’ll make,

A memory together, hand in hand,

Walking along love’s golden strand.

**

In the quiet hours of the night,

I whisper to the stars so bright,

A wish to bridge this distance wide,

Something he so far has shied.

**

For though the road may seem too long,

We need to keep our bond quite strong.

So until we see things eye to eye

The longing often makes me cry.

**

But then, sometimes I get upset

Why is 5 hours such a sweat?

I wonder, what might be the fear,

Am I not worth a visit here?

There is this silence around me

I’m not sure why that is.

I’m isolated from everyone and everything.

I long for some release.

**

I’m suffocating in the endless gap

of distance between all the others and me.

I beg of you – when someone trusts you

Don’t pull and push, and then let them be.

**

I’m hurt and angry, it’s you who I miss

The silence around me is loud, can’t you tell?

Your fear has destroyed what we built

And I’m sad and heartbroken, you destroyed quite well.

**

Despite all the sunshine, the warm around me

The sadness is real, and so is the fear

that you’ll never find me again as trustful

as I was before you decided to crash and tear.

**

There is no way, that you could fix it.

I regret so much, what this disaster has cost

And the thing I’m grieving most of all

is the friendship that I lost.
