The Space Between

The space between two hearts in love-

A maddening mystery to me

For inch nor mile seems enough

I need some space but please don’t leave

At night you pull me close to sleep

I make an excuse to get up

Guilt devours me for I see

The space between to hearts in love

I know deep down you’re who I want

But sometimes I feel I can’t breathe

Why then this ache when we’re apart?

A maddening mystery to me!

Days like this when we disagree-

won’t compromise at any cost.

Distance ourselves, nothings achieved

for inch nor mile seems enough.

A battle without any budge,

maybe we just need time to think;

I choose you, and I won’t give up

I need some space but please don’t leave.

What if I had simply agreed

If I had simply held my tongue

Why is it people always leave?

Maybe I have somehow misjudged

the space between two hearts in love.
