Between us is a distance
In body and in mind
Wish this was a movie
I could press rewind

I left goodbyes hanging
On clothesline in the wind
Watch them from the window
As they catch gusts and spin

Hoping moon will pull you home
Like it corrals tides
By power of some invisible force
I will wake up with you by my side

But only echoes return
Voice a boomerang
Where hopes once gallantly soared
They now just limply hang

I was closer than I suspected
Suddenly taken by surprise
No idea how much I'd miss you
Even ******* and lies

Before brain mingled with yours
Balance wholly my own
Inadvertently stole my independence
Now it is hard to live alone

With memories to enforce
Misery every day
Reminding of gravity
Of words I failed to say

Before I became fading image
Passing thought in your mind
If somebody told me I wouldn't have believed
Would one day no longer be aligned

I was more naive in my youth
Took pain to help me see
Regardless how cemented something is
In blink of an eye with no warning can flee

Back when I had journey figured out
Answers seemed so clear
Simple solutions turned fuzzy with time
Steadily came undone every year

I did not notice the gap between us
Was all my foolishness got wrong
How did we stray so far apart?
I am not sure but now you're gone
