I wrote this one night for a friend
who was depressed and lonely because
he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

We try so hard not to hurt one another
with the lies and half-hearted I love you’s
told to avoid the pain the truth would cause.
Deny the problem and it’s not seen,
but it doesn’t go away.
Distance so far between,
But is it you I miss
or just a touch, a kiss.
