The Space Between

The space between my heart and yours
Gets out of the car and stands on the curb
Back to you as you drive away
It sits on the train watching walls go by
Eyes blurry with speed, blurry with tears
The space between my heart and yours
Taxis down the runway and thrusts into the sky
Stomach dropping from heights, dropping from heartache
It stretches miles from the landscape
Of your body and soul
Giving me hurt where your hands used to be
The space between my heart and yours
Demands to know when it will have you again
To taste and to touch and indulge in your love
It mocks me with memories of smiles and sweetness
That I left behind when I left your side
The space between my heart and yours
Is only as big as the biggest balloon
That threatens to burst if I am away too long
So let it be soon that I see you again
To erase this space between
My heart and yours.
