So Close, But Yet So Far Away

You're so close, but yet so far away
Even on the longest never ending days
I don't know why, but you make me wanna say
How did I find someone so perfect in every way
You're in my thoughts no matter how far
You shine brighter than any star
Our love is so strong there is no boarder
The distance between the two of us only makes it stronger
Every night before I go to bed
The thoughts of us, rush through my head
I lay my head on my pillow wishing it was you
The thought of you next to me is what gets me through
& after everything you put me through, I still miss you
So close, but yet so far away
The love between us will never stray.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
