So far

You sit here,
so close to my heart,
so close my love,
yet so far apart.

I wish I could take it all back,
make it all good again,
but my words ran away,
and still caused you pain.

I'll never understand,
how we can love each other so deep,
yet separated by so much land,
and let our pain begin to seep.

So close together,
yet so far apart,
I will always love you,
my dear heart.

for Brit.
