Dear Distance,
You're so close, but so far
I feel as though you've numbed me into thinking you're only space
When actually you're much more
You're not only a number, but you're the number of hours, weeks, months that I'm away from my love
You're not only space, because when I'm with him there is none.
We fill it as though there never was any
My heart flutters in the distance you've created
And I'm supposed to accept it as though nothing is keeping me away
Half of me is somewhere far and I can't even get the slightest touch
I see him through a screen, but once again you've formed yourself into another barrier
Distance please stop playing this game and bring my love back
That's all I ask.
One simple request, I'm lonely

Sincerely,

       A Broken Heart
