Space between us

I've had you on mind—it's true. Through relentless nights, filled— with thoughts of you. I conjured dreams to ease the fray, yet woke to find you still— today. This feeling, lingers undefined, though clear it is you've not changed—your mind. Why keep me close, but hold me at bay? You are lost in the games you play; you seek the company I provide yet; you keep me—away. Your needs—seem clear but to you, mine are blurred. Had I listened from the start, your name could now be—out of heart. We shared some joy, but now, I see we're both fine alone, just as we were—free. I tried for friendship , gave it a chance, And I found the truths I could not—face. Glad I followed where my instincts led, vexed at doubts I should have—shed. You won't give that—which I crave, but that's alright. My heart will mend, my breath will stay, I'll move on long after—today. When you sense the distance grown, know it's not me who'll cast—the stone. I'll be gone without a plea; you'll see me fade and set me— free.
