That Distance Between You And Me - Priyanka Joshi-More

The days we met in the hallways when I would walk out and you would enter,

That glimpse of a smile, that wave of a hand, that sparkle in your eyes which always made me smile back … if only I could reduce that distance between You and Me…

The days when we would stand next to each other gazing out the window wondering,

How this weather could not have been anything more than perfect to head out and embrace it. If only we did that, I could have reduced the distance between You and Me…

Wishing me on my special day, bringing my hands to your lips and kissing it;

Gleaming with joy I looked at you but all I could say was Thank you.

How I wish I could have said more, I could have reduced that distance between You and me…

Hearing about you from mutual friends, everything about your life which you informed them, wishing we were in touch, but all I could do was hear and smile to myself as I always knew you would achieve big one day.

I wished we’d met before you left, then I could have reduced that distance between You and Me….

When we crossed paths on social connect, here I am and there you are, in different continents.

Wondering what to say although I have tons to,

I wish I could hug you and tell you how much I wished I would have said something then… doing something when the time was right…

There would have never been that distance between You and Me…
