Like an untethered
Boat that has
Drifted out to
Sea with the
Tides of day
You’re now hundreds
Of miles away
Far off shore
A late night
Snowfall has blanketed
Us and I
Awake to the
Chill of distance
I do understand
Yet wished you’d
Say that it
Is no longer
I but anyone
The easiest thing
To become is
Lovers the hardest
Is friends post
The transition lies
In truth courage
And trust the
Heart knows what
The mind cannot
I shall leave
You alone the
Same way that
We stumbled across
Each other before
