Why is it

that I must be torn

between the things I need

and the things I love?

Each passing day

it gets harder

the closer I draw to you

the more real our distance

becomes

Maybe this is a test of some kind

Maybe this is an omen of things to come

Whatever it is

I feel that

This distancewith either

tear us apart

or

fuse us together
