Love Versus Ptsd: Natural Enemies

in the ocean I feel closer
to you
we’re in the same ocean
same tides, same moon
sometimes
i can almost feel you.

but
you’re so far away
( especially now )
there used to be just
distance
&& now there’s added
S P A C E.

I once fought so hard
to close
the distance.

I beat the distance
( I won. )

I forgot that once I won
I could stop
fighting.

( please give me a chance to stop fighting )
