Distance Leads to Nothing

Isn’t it odd that 

When we were so far physically

It felt like we were closer

There was a lot of sorrow

But there was the soft embrace every night 

in the form of your whispers from miles away

Through the phone.

And now, when we’re barely a few kilometres apart

I can’t reach you

I can’t find you

I can’t hear you

You speak to me

But it feels like

You’ve travelled thousands of miles away

So distant

Is this what happens

When souls drift apart From each other

Or is this our own doing

From our fear of not wanting 

Love, commitment, expectations,

All of it

And so,

We end up with nothing.
