nef

The distance draws me in

Eyes imprinted on my soul

Laugh a joy to hear

Images in my dreams

Could forever keep me asleep

It feels so real

This thing I may never call my own

I seemed so close

Not endured long enough

But I can

Pulling my hair behind the curtain

Falling beneath the surface

It pains me to not have it

But pains me more to know

I can't move on without it

I knew what I had

Before it was gone

And still it went away
