Five Centimeters Apart

Five centimeters apart.
Five milliseconds would it take to reach
Your awaiting heart.
I want to take the minuscule journey.
I want to, I really do.

But those five centimeters feel like
Five thousand miles.

Those five milliseconds feel like
Five centuries.

I want to take the journey,
You of all understand this.
But it is you who is constantly incapable
Of sparing mercy.

By the time I'd get there,
You'd leave another five centimeters.
You've moved another five milliseconds away from me.

I cannot continue on
If you cannot find within you to stop.

Maybe it's best if we stay five centimeters apart.
