I cannot fathom
   How distance
   Has so much power.

Our time together
   Cannot be
   Time together.

The images shared
   Make the need
   Better and worse.

When I want to be
   There with you
   I cannot go.

When I need to be
   There for you
   The miles say “no.”

A touch or a hug
   Just can’t feel
   Intense as text.

The tears that fall down
   Can’t be caught
   By a shoulder.

He is with you there,
   But somehow
   Even more remote.

Why am I distant?
   Not choice, but
   Situation.

My greatest want
   (perhaps need?)
   Is still . . . remote.

Our hearts are apart
   Just how much
   Scares me the most

And I’ll never know
   How much space
   Is between us.
