I'm perpetually far away.
You know it when you see the look in my eyes, the gleam signaling I'm elsewhere.
I'm perpetually in places that you'll either never see or never be with me.
You feel it in your gut, you know I'm gone.
I'm perpetually absent, and I have been for a while now.
You know that I'll never be yours, in any way.
I'm perpetually lost inside my own head.
You know that you'll never see the hidden trenches, the hidden worlds torn apart by wars waged long before you.
I'm perpetually too far away and you know that'll always be true.
