Sometimes I feel handicapped
by the space between us here

the miles that    separate  

not realizing until too late
disconnected
     by the air waves
how can we touch at all.

Alas when one does fall
the earth was not moved
in the space I occupy
   I can ponder on the why
maybe even cry
but to feel, truly feel
all of us must then be real...

I'm not ready for the closeness
this would then entail
forgive me if I fail

to open up my heart
again
    it's just too soon...

Keep your heart in a safe mode, but not locked up forever.

I wait behind the window
of tears and fear and glee.
Not wanting to yet let go
yet not sure what's to be..

Miles and memories can bring out the emotions of yesteryears and what one
may hope to be...yet still be afraid.

Excellently said..
