Distance

I miss you
a little more each day
Though you’re not gone
You might as well be
A million miles away
For the distance you created
I can’t begin to understand
Why cast aside
Something full of possibility
Something rare
Something precious
I guess that’s what I get
For thinking we were friends
For buying into something
I hadn’t had in years
A true closeness
Of like-minded souls
Sharing
Caring
Understanding
And a implied promise
Of mutual support
I suppose it doesn’t matter now
What I thought I had found
For now there’s nothing there
Of the comfort I once had
Just an ever-growing distance
That I can’t reach across
