Distance...

Distance...
I never knew the meaning...
It spans so much...
Time...
Space...
The distance is so great...
Yet you are still here...
In my arms...
I can hear your breathing...
Next to me...
I can feel your warmth...
Even through the distance...

Distance...
It's taken a new meaning...
So many miles...
And yet none at all...
Still closer yet...
Closer than ever...
Yet that distance is still there...
Holding us back...
But I see you...
When I lie in bed...
Feel you when under the covers...
The distance in fact...
Is no distance at all...
