The distance between you and me

You ask me to measure

The distance between you and me.

At first, it seems impossible,

For days, it made me wonder,

And I couldn’t bring myself to an answer.

As days passed by, bearing the thought,

I missed you more and more,

Feeling all the while like

We were growing further apart.

Until finally,

I did find a way

To measure the distance

In skipped heartbeats,

In sleepless nights,

In moon gazing sights,

In solitary words written,

In unsent letters,

In deleted texts,

In unanswered calls,

In fallen tears,

And the times spent thinking

That the void would never be filled.
