The Distance

"... and I watched you walk away, the distance between us growing, until at last, it finally swallowed you whole..."

I watched you walk away
I don't know if it was you
Or just the dream I had of you
My love swallowed by the night
Beneath the starless sky
I followed you
Calling out your name
Did you hear me at all?
I ran breathless
Through the cold
Each word passing from my lips
Turning to smoke into the air
Disappearing with you into the darkness
My thoughts
Like my heart
Were left faded among the snow
And shadows

Such a sad write, the emotions are protrayed well.

This is sad! But I love the imagery, I can completely see someone just walking towards the shadows until you can't see them anymore. Beautiful.
