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. By: Jana Adams…August, 2007
