A distant memory,

nowhere near.

Forever moving farther away,

and never closer.

I watch.

I watch as you leave.

I watch as I fall apart.

I watch as my heart shatters to pieces,

laying carelessly askew on the floor,

the pieces no longer fitting together perfectly.

All because you're nowhere near,

when I need you to be so close that I can finally remember how it felt to be in your presence.

To have your breathe fanning my face,

and to feel the warmth of your body as it transfers to mine.

The kisses shared on moonlit nights.

The rashes made by rubbing skin.

The loving hugs,

igniting flames of lust damn near unquenchable.

Leaving me here,

missing you wholeheartedly,

as the realization sinks in that you're nowhere near.

Nowhere near where I need you to be right now,

as i'm falling apart all over again.

Falling apart because of how much I miss having you so close,

so present.

Falling apart because I can't stand to be so far away from you,

knowing that instead we could be so close.

I'm addicted and I need my drug to come back to me.

To sedate the need for you.

Don't you understand that?

If so,

then why the hell are you nowhere near?
