Close To You

why do i feel you so close
 yet you are not there 
 why do you not answer
 as if you didnt care
 yet my heart tells me you do 
 you took away the pain they planted there 
 it lifted, for one moment i was free 
 flying free, i was floating, didnt care 
 I was me, our souls were so entwined
 the me that was born, before i was burdened with so much pain
 cant i feel forever this way 
 why do you have to go away
 you linger in my thoughts, but in the cold light of day you are not there
 there is only the reality that really you do not care
 the less i think the more you are there
 but really you are far far away
 my soul despairs
 i cant understand how you cannot love me 
 when my soul tells me that you do 
 when i am always and forever so close to you
