Distance

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, no matter how outrageously and hopelessly in denial you want to place yourself in, there are just some things you cannot change, some things you have to accept, some things you have to realize, leave it be and perhaps...move on. It’s an empty space, a sort of measure of nothingness between two people, a divide that cannot be conquered or covered...no...sometimes the one thing keeping two from ever having that spark, that connection...is Distance.

It amazes me how sometimes two people can grow as close as any two people can ever get, share the same space for long periods of time, connect on every possible level ever, share every possible thought that they ever possibly can, know what each other’s thoughts are without even saying anything, but somehow, yes somehow there’s a void, a space between them, a constant divide that keeps them apart...Distance. What makes it worse is the fact that once you’ve had that connection before, and you know what it feels like, and you know what it’s meant to be like between two people, and suddenly when you’re moving onto something new, and it simply does not exist there...that...connection...then you realize how wide the space is between you two, and you realize that there isn’t a thing in the world that could possibly bring you together, so all you do is close your eyes and for a moment you pretend...just pretend it’s there...the connection between the Distance...nothing more than a naive hope...the imaginary connection, but still...Distance. And there’s nothing worse than getting an intimate hug, or a gentle kiss, and taking a short moment and realizing...there it is again...the cold shiver creeping up your spine, the dark divide, the unoccupied space, the emptiness...Distance.

Then the question that remains is this...Is it okay to simply pretend, to make a sacrifice in love, hoping that someday, sooner or later, the gap will close up, and that two people will grow closer, more together, more like one...or would it be healthier to realize that there are some connections that cannot be rediscovered simply by hoping that time will bridge the gap through the art of pretence, and it would simply be better to break a non-existent connection, before one day you realize that you’ve wasted your time, and end up with nothing more than regret? Then the answer is simple...something you cannot deny...that the only connection that will ever become the most prominent one, is not commonality...but Distance.
