It just hit me,
That we're complete worlds apart,
I try to reach you,
But the space between us is too great.
I feel like charging in,
But I cannot,
And so I watch on from afar,
Willing you to be safe.
Once a day I look at your face,
The one I keep in my worn-out wallet,
Sometimes more,
Because that's the closest I can get to still being with you.
Do I have to lose you too?
I will let you go,
Not because I don't love you,
But because it's easier for you to hate me,
Than for me to hurt you more.
