An Old Friend

Distance and I,
We're old companions.

We don't always be with each other,
But I could count on it,
When I need it.

Distance.
The perfect way to lose someone..
Using "distance" as an excuse,
To slip away from some people's lives,
And fade into the background.

It doesn't matter if you love someone so much,
Or how highly you think of them,
How close you keep them to your heart,
But when the time comes,
I'll hold hand with distance,
And say good bye to those I held dear.

So many excuses I could use.
With distance,
So easy to make them forget,
And forgetting.
