Distance and Remorse

I meant to kiss your scars 
And instead I've torn them raw
I became someone else 
Neither of us ever saw
You are so far away 
The only thing I want now
Is for you to be ok
I hurt you
And made you afraid 
How far from cuddling on my couch
We have strayed
I wish I could say 
I'm sorry
I wish to take your pain away
But all I can do is sit and think
You feel so far away
