Never close enough

Not once, not twice, not even three or four
...Now I can't even keep up with how many times I've left you.
You don't notice that I'm gone, because I never actually leave in the sense of packing a bag, or walking out...
I just simply go to that place deep inside my soul, and hide for a while.

Those are the times that I'm quiet, and have very little to say.
...You ask me what's wrong, and I simply shrug my shoulders, because to tell you the truth...
I have no clue.

...I just know that sometimes, like today,
I get lost in yesterday, and start fearing tommorrow, and then before I know it...
I'm in that secret place again deep inside my soul.

In fact, that ole' familiar feeling is so familiar that I don't even realize that I'm gone until you ask me where my thoughts are.

I wish I could tell you.  
It would ease both of our hearts and minds.

But I can't, not today anyway.

Ask me again tomorrow...
When I'm here, instead of there.


Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
