So Near Yet So Far Poem by David Whalen

So Close Yet Far Apart`

So close...so very close
and yet so heartbreakingly
Far away

So near...so very, very near
That I can hear...my dear
Each whispered word you say

So slim...so very slim
The chance you'd ever deign
To dance with me

So shy...so very shy am I
Perhaps twas ne'er
meant to be

So painful… so very painful tis
To hold you so very close
To my heart

So lonely...and only...
but only...in my dreams
it seems

So near...so very near
We seem
So close yet
...far apart...
