Losing faith that he'll ever be mine

Holding my hand while your mind's eye wanders
Trappings of affection from habit not heart
Reaching for you would send you further
Into bleak solitude, distant, apart
So I must wait for when/if you return
Or turn to sever the weakening bond
Are you healing a hurt or drawing fresh blood?
Are you pushing me from you or preparing your heart?
Trust without promises, want without hope
Holding you somewhere you never were
