Love From a Distance.

Love From a Distance

“I have to love you from a distance,”
I said, as I smacked my lips on a piece of

Bubble gum.  This was how it was and how

It always shall be, a little like an apple

Falling from a tree.  Destiny is far from reach;

Some people never obtain it.  Look at life as if it

Is going to bop you in the eye because you don’t

Understand anything else.  Once you said,

“Why don’t you love me?”  But you never loved

Me back in the way that you were supposed to

Love me, as if I were no one else alive in this

Crazy, mixed up world with its crazy mixed up

Rules.  Nobody said it was going to be perfect

But it has got to be better than the alternative,

Something you don’t seem to quite understand.

The letter of it is that nothing is quite the same

And that everything is turned backwards;

Everything is turned inside out and I don’t know

Anything about anything except what I know.

Things aren’t always quite what they seem,

But sometimes they are and you have to get used to them

Before things change and you don’t know what

You are doing or where you are going and nothing

Is ever the same again.

All it is is you are my long lost friend and I miss you,

Far away and forgotten.  I am miserable without you.
