distance

i feel the distance

not just physical

i feel something more

i ask what's wrong

the reply i get is "what?"

i don't understand

maybe you're over it

i can't be there now

you'd probably prefer i was

i can't uproot my life

without some certainty

that we will last, that you want me

too much to lose

my career, my home

my life i've created for me

maybe i've pushed

i don't mean to

i'm just trying to show i care

this is going to be work

maybe you don't want that

to work as hard as i'm willing 

i can't do this alone

if you don't want this

i hope you'll let me free

you broke my heart once

it hurts again just thinking

that you'll be gone again

i've tried to be here 

in every possible way

every way i know how

i feel like your pushing

i just want in

don't push me away

maybe you've decided

there is no future for us

i just don't know, you push

i can always tell

when something is off with you

but i don't know why now

you are there, i'm here

but there is distance

beyond the obvious
