I will love you forever,
that truth will never fade.
But loving you too closely
is a wound I cannot trade.
I dream of your lips,
your touch, your hand in mine,
yet reality reminds me—
you were never truly mine.
So I'll love you in silence,
from a distance I must stay,
because holding on too tightly
hurts more every day.
Don't think my heart is leaving,
it's only learning how to hide.
I'll keep you safe within me,
just not standing by your side.

A lovely write of love from afar. So true that holding too tight promotes the wish for distance in the other. A most lovely write and wise too.
Saving yourself from a love you want but do not need is differently a tough task. That struggle is evident in this piece of art.
