Drifting

I feel a distance drifting in,
and the things we used to be
are drifting away.

It's been days since you've held me,
and weeks since we've just been us,
and I'm starting to fade.

Sometimes we have to say no to protect what we love,
sometimes we must figure out how to stay alive
while we keep the ones we love in our lives.

I feel a distance settling in,
and the things I loved are falling away,
and so am I.

Hold on to me, give me your time,
and find a way to keep me,
because this distance is pulling me away.
