Distance

Distance

One does not cry
Among professionals 
Sipping lattes in Starbucks
But I cannot staunch the flow
When I think of you
So far away from me now

I don’t mean mere physical distance
But that I do not know
What is happening in your life
I no longer laugh with you
Nor share music and stories
As we used to

This is the chasm between us
That has imploded my heart
Today
