I submit

I hate feeling the way I do;
helpless

Because when you lose the connection you have with somebody,
there's no getting it back

I can't meet your eyes during,
fleeting moments throughout the day
and not think about the incredible rift between us both
Sometimes the flicker in your gaze
Makes me wonder
if we can't share tales
Then maybe we'd share sentiments
But;

I can't bring myself to take
the first step in talking to you
because these periodic spurs of emotions
will always be
easier to handle than
the staggering disappointment when
we talk and I'm reminded that time;
time apart has conceived a distance too large
too vast; to abridge
