DISTANCE BETWEEN US

Long ago the two of us were fused together
There was no question of whether
We were a couple or just friends
If we were real or just pretend
We completed one another
Me and you, my lover
We were more than many have
We were the ideal of what others wanted
We were what others wanted to have.
Yet all of that has been taken for granted.
In so many ways, it has been tainted
A crater has fell into our world
Our love, now, has been thrown, it has been hurled
And now exists this space between us
A distance so far apart
Impossible to reach the other, for either of us
With this distance between our hearts.
Try as we may
To reach one another one day
Impossible it seems
Almost as in our dreams
You say we will be fine
That our love will again shine
Yet in my mind and heart, this is hard to conceive
As everything, still, is hard to believe.
Easier it seems for you to reach
For you are the one, who caused this breach
With this tainted love that you did start
It is harder for me to reach apart.
And as days go by, I wonder why
I have given you more times, than any other guy.
The answer may be
That I love you deeply
And maybe it is, that I want not to be alone
To live each day in this place we call a home
And for what ever reasons
We have had to endure these seasons
I know not why
Yet I only cry
And as this space grows us further apart
Every minute of each day
With less and less to each other, say
More impossible it seems, we will mend my heart.
I know not if, we will, ever again merge
To the place we once were
To the place we once knew
Where love was strong and binding, between me and you.
