Miles Away But Still So Close

I put on my makeup in the hope for good day.
Although you're not here, so many miles away.
I take a lot of pictures for you to see.
Hoping that you will never forget me.
You are my true love and best friend.
So I can't let this go and come to an end.
Even though I have never met you face to face.
The word you speak to me, take me to that place.
I was searching for something, wasn't love at all.
Me resisting didn't keep you from coming through my wall.
I built it so strong to keep away unwanted pain.
You kept contacting me, you had nothing to gain.
I learned some men aren't always so shallow.
I still have issues, feelings of emptiness and hollow.
A lot of work needs done so I can be free.
Trying...over and over, not only for me.
