Keeping some distance

Oh my darling

I am afraid

We will only realize it

When it's too late

When either you or I

Are already gone

Then the other might

Realize the greatest loss

For now we are blinded

By the reckless perception

That time will be friendly

And won't ever tear us apart

Or by this implicit pride

Or fear, or doubt,

Or for not believing

To be worth of it

Then we keep distance

Just enough to survive

And yet too close to pretend

That we can be just fine
