At Arm’s Distance

I might pull her close but she stays just out of reach. And I understand why but it’s pulling strings inside of me. I start to think and then I sink into myself when that’s the last place I want to be. I’ll just give her time, take it night by night and I’m sure I’ll see that the distance she keeps will give way to meaning. That over time she’ll show me inside to a world I’ve never seen.
