The Distance

I felt it more today... than yesterday.
......this distance...
as you slowly...day by day
move away from the  way we once were...
.....as the lovers we used to be

cleaning house.... sort of...
of the bits and pieces of me...
leftovers..
remains of the intimate..... ...us,
that we once were
slowly changing our old style..
from lovers to friends
slow dancing to a different song
...a different you
    ....a different mood
       ........a different life
so you can move on to a new him

............tomorrow
I shall feel it even more
as the distance grows
and the ache of today
beats like thunder within an empty heart
with the measured pain of rejection
designed not to totally destroy me
just numb me around the edges
while you slip slowly away
but you know it hurts
......when you say you care

and we don't make love anymore
