Space

I feel space between us, not sure how this 
happened, I want to be closer to you, I 
wanna feel you breath, feel your heart 
beat next to mine, I wanna feel close to 
you again, as I try to come closer I get 
pushed away, this is the cycle that is not 
new, we're close for a time then when I get 
in to close I'm pushed away and the space 
gets bigger and bigger, when there 
becomes too much space you pull me 
back in,I fight to be as close as I can 
without being pushed away,but I guess I 
haven't found that slot in the space 
between us where I belong....

Its getting that balance right. Good write, I think its something you get to master over time with a loved one and even then you can still get pushed away!
