The space between us



Would tell you of the pain you cause me
 But what will that do
Will the pain I stored for so long dissappear
We aren't perfect or anything close to it
As close as if we live on two different planets
We talk as much as if you died a long time ago
You know me as much as the book you never read or heard of before
Closer to knowing how to walk on water than I am to knowing how to conversate
with you
Exchanged more words with  my demons than with you
As you easily became the main character for my most painful memories
Maybe you did show love just that to pity our definitions are different
 
What is you humor
I want to know what makes you laugh
I want to learn your humor
I want us to find the same thing funny
I want us to stop being so different
I want the that first time feeling of laughing with you
Or will it mess with the dynamic?...,
