CLOSE TO MY HEART

Close to my heart but,
every time I hold my hands out,
I never feel you,
love is something,
that has to be expressed,
but remains unexpressed,
you were there with me,
from the very beginning,
of my life,
we are made for each other,
we have been through my success,
my failure,
my hatred,
my love,
yet it will be unfair,
if I wish that,
we live together for a lifetime,
there are days where,
you showed love through gestures,
you showed love through words,
I am sorry if I cannot do that,
we have lived together almost always,
but I had to move on with my life,
that you prepared me for,
I am sorry if we can’t celebrate our birthdays together anymore,
I am sorry if we spend the days like we used to,
those were the golden times,
where we didn’t need words to express our love to each other,
just a glance and my name from your mouth,
showed how much you loved and cared for me,
this is not between me and one person,
this love is between me and my family,
who taught me that,
love is more than lust or infatuation,
it is the connection between two people’s mind,
heart,
I love them more than any guy who will come into my life,
but I can never say that,
I can love them more than they love me,
they are close to my heart,
but when I hold out my arms,
I can’t feel your warmth,
guess no one can measure the distance,
from earth to heaven.
