To close the distance between peace and chaos,
all it takes is a thought.
But as it passes through me,
the realisation of the endless distance between us strikes,
and while dragging myself away from you,
I force that thought to stop.
Yet somewhere at the back of my mind,
I can still feel your presence.
And when the second realisation washes over me,
I understand:
it was never merely a thought,
but a seed
of a thousand promises
we could never keep.
